Exmac Automation has completed
an engine handling project for the
Rolls-Royce facility in Derby. Besides
representing a unique automated
assembly system within the aerospace
industry, the automated process for
the transportation, assembly and
build of large aircraft engines also
highlights the potential for the
transfer of technology between many
other industries.

Experience of conveying and
handling systems for complex
assembly plants such as those at JCB,
Jaguar and Land Rover can help
other industries understand how
automotive systems operate and,
importantly, convince customers that
similar assembly systems can be
made to work for them.
