An inspection robot, with a magnification camera and defect recognition software, photographs and scans large, complex composite parts to detect imperfections that are invisible to the naked eye.
Ongoing investment and development
To keep pace with the rise in production of the Boeing B787 Bombardier's CSeries and the Airbus A350 XWB, Zodiac Cabin & Structures has added 30,000 m2 to its plant in Tijuana and reorganized its sites in California and Marysville to accommodate new programs.
Heavily invested in preparing for the future, its teams have launched the “quiet cabin” project, which features a combination of absorbent acoustic materials and cutting-edge analysis and simulation methods, and the “Dynamic Modular Lavatory” project, which focuses on the mass production of more modular customized lavatories. There is also increased application of cutting-edge tools, inspection robots, and layered composites to boost competitiveness, build larger parts and improve quality.

The lavatories on the Airbus A350 XWB are available with more than 100 options.
