Infosys has entered into a five-year agreement with the US-based Spirit AeroSystems - one of the world’s largest manufacturers of aerostructures for commercial airplanes, defence platforms, and business/regional jets. Infosys will provide aerostructure and systems engineering services to Spirit AeroSystems for product development of commercial, business jet and emerging aircraft programmes, and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services.
“At Spirit AeroSystems, we believe our ability to continuously advance our offering at design and engineering levels is one of our competitive differentiators. Our longstanding collaboration with Infosys means we are well-positioned to co-innovate on critical stages of product development, ensuring we continue to pursue the highest standards in quality and airworthiness,” said, Dr Sean Black, Senior Vice President and Chief Engineer, Engineering and Technology, Spirit AeroSystems.
This strategic agreement would leverage mutual synergies to accelerate the development of world-class, sustainable aerostructures and services across our commercial and aftermarket business segments, he said.
Under the recently announced engagement, Infosys will offer end-to-end product development services, including design engineering, sustaining engineering, systems engineering, stress engineering, manufacturing engineering, and repair and maintenance. Infosys will also look to accelerate product development across the value stream by leveraging knowledge-based engineering and engineering automation,
“Now more than ever, aerospace and defense organisations need to rapidly reinvent their digital foundation. We are thrilled to deepen our strategic collaboration with Spirit AeroSystems and accelerate their digital transformation, by pushing the envelope in design and product engineering,” said Jasmeet Singh, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Manufacturing, Infosys. Singh said that Infosys’ investments in aerostructure engineering and next-gen technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud would allow it to deliver compelling value to Spirit and take the collaboration to newer heights.
