Our CNC machines, which operate continuously to produce high-quality aerospace components, are now monitored for critical parameters. This ensures optimal performance, reduced energy consumption, and improved overall quality. Our machines are equipped with advanced measurement units to collect essential data. This data is formatted and transmitted to a server using modern technology. The IGNITION platform then stores, analyzes, and visualizes the data for real-time insights.
We monitor key parameters such as temperature 🌡️, vibrations 🔊, and current measurements ⚡ of motors and spindles. Our technology transmits this data smoothly over our internal network. Additional software filters and preprocesses the raw data before uploading it to our Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This project is an integral part of our commitment to innovation and sustainability 🌍. By connecting our machines and leveraging advanced data analysis 📊, we are not only optimizing our processes but also paving the way for a greener future.

🌍♻️ Detoxing installation at BMT Aerospace ♻️🌍 At BMT Aerospace, we are committed to continuous improvement and a greener future. One of our installations, a detoxing installation for chemical baths, is a significant step in that direction. 🔬 What does it entail? Our chemical baths, used to treat our racks and pinions, have a limited lifecycle. Once the chemicals in a bath are no longer effective, it is pumped into a tank where it is detoxified. The cyanide water is captured in vats, where a chemical process extracts the toxins from the water, allowing us to reuse the water. The toxins are then captured in a vat and treated with UV light, making the waste less toxic and enabling us to safely dispose it with the rest of our wastewater. 🌱 Benefits: Sustainability: Reduces environmental impact by detoxing the baths ourselves. Water Saving: Allows us to reuse the water after detoxification. With this installation, we are taking an important step towards a more efficient and sustainable future. Together, we are building a cleaner and more efficient world! #BMTAerospace #Sustainability #WaterSaving

As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, efforts are underway to minimize potential damage and ensure public safety. Did you know that aircraft play a crucial role in these preparations? Specifically, some aircraft are designed to fly directly into the eye of the hurricane to analyze its strength. This information helps emergency services better anticipate the storm's impact. One such aircraft is the renowned "Miss Piggy," a Lockheed WP-3D Orion equipped with four C-130 engines featuring BMT Aerospace parts, including loose gears and reduction gearbox housings. Lockheed WP-3D Orion trivia: ✅ It's one of the only two aircraft in the world specifically designed to fly into the eye of a hurricane ✅ The NOAA has one other WP-3D, dubbed Kermit and one Gulfstream IV dubbed Gonzo in its hurricane hunting fleet. The nicknames and their logo's on the planes give a light touch to the important work by the crew. ✅ Since 2014, the two Orion's have each flown more than 10,000 hours and flown into more than 80 hurricanes. ✅ Eearlier this year the NOAA announced that "Miss Piggy" and "Kermit" will be replaced by two C-130j's. The planes have been active since the 70's. The WP-3D Orion is specially built for hurricane reconnaissance missions. Its durable design and advanced instruments enable it to withstand extreme weather conditions while collecting critical meteorological data. This data improves forecasts and supports hurricane research, ultimately saving lives and property. "Miss Piggy" has a long history of flying into some of the most powerful hurricanes, providing essential insights into their effects. We commend the brave teams conducting these missions and are honored to support such vital work.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄! ✈️ A true spectacle for us, as our parts end up in several jet engines that were present at the air show. One of these was the F/A - 18! 🤩 The F/A-18 combat jet, also known as the Hornet, is a highly versatile aircraft designed for both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. It is equipped with advanced avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics. The jet has robust defensive capabilities, like intercepting and destroying incoming threats. Additionally, the aircraft's agility and advanced electronic warfare systems enhance its survivability against missile attacks. The aircraft is famous for being onboard US carriers. Tip: if you didn't get to visit Sanicole to witness this spectacle, you can see the jet in action in the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun - Maverick! 🎬 #BMTAerospace #Sanicole #FA18

Every plane has a maximum takeoff weight, which includes the aircraft itself, fuel, cargo, passengers, and their luggage. Ignoring this limit can seriously impact flight safety.
An overloaded plane puts extra stress on its parts, upping the risk of mechanical failures during key flight phases. This strain can weaken the landing gear and wings, potentially leading to major accidents. Pilots and ground crew need to carefully calculate and stick to these weight limits to keep flights safe.
Seeing how crucial weight is in the aerospace industry, BMT Aerospace is stepping up by setting standards for Additive Manufacturing since this technique can really cut down the weight of manufactured parts.
