A&D Goes Carbon Neutral: Innovations in Supply and Manufacturing Chains
This post is brought to you by Parade, the only online platform dedicated to tracking new product releases for the A&D industry So the story goes, when Elon Musk’s SpaceX was faced with a $120,000 price tag for a rocket booster actuator, the famed visionary advised his engineer thusly: “That part is no more complicated than a garage door opener. Your budget is $5,000. Go make it work.” Some nine months later, the actuator was finalized at a price tag of $3,900, accelerating production of the rocket while similarly providing impetus to Musk’s objective of verticalizing his supply chain in order to enhance quality, decrease transportation costs, and reduce fossil fuel use. Keilhauer products are designed for a long, useful life with replaceable components. Their End of Product Life documents may be used as guidance for those wishing to replace product components or dismantle and recycle products at home.Though arguably the most famous, Musk certainly isn’t the only one bent on innova...
