"Flexxbotics makes our plant equipment interoperate for greater machine control, allowing our teams to set performance targets and automate adjustments that sustain tight tolerances," said Rex Kelly, manager of program management at Orizon Aerostructures. "The ability to reduce feed rates as loads increase and tie loads to individual tools and set limits is powerful and provides a foundation as we introduce greater levels of intelligence, automation, and networking into our operations to improve quality and provide affordability."

Multisource data streams — including spindle loads, axis servo loads, robot joint temperatures and probe measurements — are combined to identify process trends and automatically adjust operations. The data architecture also supports Industrial AI training and validation.

According to the company, the system allows Orizon to detect processing anomalies earlier, reducing rework and scrap by more than 40%. The company has also cut unplanned downtime by 25%, increasing efficiency and enabling up to 20% additional production capacity.

Flexxbotics connects equipment such as MODIG machines and FANUC robots with enterprise systems including Infor PLM and QCS, creating a unified environment for process visibility, automated compliance and continuous optimization.

Real-time data exchange between machining, assembly and quality systems enables autonomous process control and digital traceability across Orizon’s aerospace production programs.
