Turnkey Solutions for Simple and Complex Projects Aritex provides tailored solutions unique to each customer it serves. Projects range from straightforward retooling requests to complex, full manufacturing facility design and development. Tools and equipment include milling and riveting machines, platforms for large part handling, and laser cleaning systems. Whether a customer is looking to expand the scale of production or revise a particular tool, Aritex can help. Their greatest strength, however, lies in providing turnkey solutions that include conceptual design; process control and software development for line management; manufacturing and assembly; and commissioning of a final product. With these full-scale projects, Aritex also provides the necessary training for operations and maintenance. One shining example is the Keel Beam assembly line for Airbus’ A350 plant in Nantes, France, which garnered Aritex a 2015 Best Performer Award from the OEM. The project included jigs and tools and many Aritex-developed technologies including Automatic Drilling Head (ADH) robots, Tricept drilling robots, and automatic measurement systems. Differentiators Aritex’s ability to provide complete factory solutions sets it apart from its competitors. While others focus on one or two key areas of expertise, Aritex has a broad spectrum of products and resources that it can pull together to streamline the design, construction, and implementation of a project.
