![]() There are two types of SSD wear leveling: dynamic and static. To help ease that wear increase, enterprise SSDs use enterprise MLC, or eMLC, which slows the write speed, reducing wear rates. This helps bring the cost of solid-state drives (SSDs) down, but increases the wear. Where SLC allows a single bit to be written into a memory block, two can be written into MLC blocks at once. Wear leveling is perhaps even more important in multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash devices. ![]() Wear leveling is typically managed by the flash controller, which uses a wear leveling algorithm to determine which physical block to use each time data is programmed. Wear leveling arranges data so that write/erase cycles are distributed evenly among all of the blocks in the device. For example, single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash is typically rated at between 50,000 and 100,000 program/erase cycles. Each block can tolerate a finite number of program/erase cycles before becoming unreliable. Solid-state storage is made up of microchips that store data in blocks. This includes reducing or eliminating harmful materials and chemicals on the shop floors, cutting back on the use of water and energy in manufacturing areas, and increasing the use of 3D printed parts – even with reused materials.Wear leveling is a process that is designed to extend the life of solid-state storage devices. The industrial system’s transformation is also driven by the ambition of Airbus to decarbonise its overall industrial activities, further limiting their impact on the environment. It will also enable teams in the manufacturing areas to concentrate on added-value activities, letting robots do the repetitive, difficult or low added-value tasks, increasing safety and overall well-being in the manufacturing areas. ![]() The increasing use of robotics in Airbus’ industrial system will substantially contribute to reduce production costs and increase quality standards. This will facilitate data continuity and flow, transparent collaboration, enabling substantial gains in terms of performance and efficiency, lead times, standardisation and access to operational information. This ambitious makeover will enable Airbus to adapt production rates more rapidly to meet customer demand, further enhance quality, increase flexibility in the delivery of aircraft, lower the environmental impact by decarbonising manufacturing activities, and reduce costs.įour concepts will be the drivers for Airbus’ industrial system transformation: co-design digitalisation of manufacturing processes and tools robotics and decarbonisation.Ĭo-design is all about designing the new programmes at the same time as Airbus designs the industrial system, integrating the needs of manufacturing and involving the supply chain in this overall process.ĭigitalisation of manufacturing processes and tools will ensure end-to-end data continuity – from engineering to manufacturing. They will perform activities with more added value, supported by robots and using lighter-weight tooling. This will enable just-in-time operations and flexibility to produce and assemble aircraft faster, in a cleaner, more efficient and even safer environment. ![]() In the factories, teams will benefit from even more digital and connected processes, tools and devices. With increased modular design and customisation capabilities the next industrial system will leverage higher levels of standardisation and commonality of parts and major components, enabling new Build-To-Stock and Build-to-Order decoupled approaches. To achieve this ambition aircraft manufacturing and assembly is evolving to bring in new processes, tools and jobs for a different way to design and build aircraft, while also offering an improved workspace for employees. Looking to the future, Airbus is undertaking a major transformation called DDMS (Digital Design Manufacturing & Services), responding to the increasingly competitive marketplace, while also preparing for the next generation of aircraft – particularly to meet the company’s goal of being the first major manufacturer to offer climate-neutral commercial aircraft by 2035.
