SHILA Demonstrator

Smart Factory instead of Manual Shimming: SHILA Lays the Foundation for Automated Joining Processes in the Aerospace Industry

Rastede, June 2026 – Broetje-Automation, together with its consortium partners 3D.aero GmbH, Boeing, KEBA Industrial Automation, IPMT – Institute for Production Management and ‑Technology and WZL Aachen GmbH, has successfully completed the research project SHILA – “Shim-free assembly of thin-walled aircraft structures” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The aim of the project was to develop a fully digitally supported and highly automated process chain that enables precise assembly of large-format, thin-walled CFRP structural components without the previous use of shims.
