EMCC DR. RAŠEK has been a leading independent, international provider for EMC,
EMI, radio, electrical safety and environmental simulation for over 35 years. At our
innovation centres and on-site at customer
facilities anywhere in the world we provide
consulting and laboratory testing (ISO17025
accredited) up to certification and approval
management. Our teams consist of internationally recognised experts in electromagnetic environmental effects (E3).
As technology has advanced, so have the
qualitatively and regulatory requirements
imposed on aircraft, avionics and aviation
as a whole. The main issues range from
electromagnetic interference to environmental factors such as air pressure, temperature and the direct and indirect effects of
lightning, to vibration stresses on materials,
components, and entire systems. In addition,
the market now demands the use of novel
materials in aircraft hulls. These offer higher
stability combined with lower weight, and
drive down costs in comparison to metals.
The three main causes of EMC issues are
thunderstorms, heavy EMI in air and space
and mutual EMI between parts of a system.
Due to the increased use of carbon fibre,
the fuselage no longer acts as a Faraday
cage, protecting against direct and indirect
effects of lightning. Furthermore, system reliability under any conditions is of paramount.
Flight safety cannot be guaranteed unless all
airborne equipment – from components to
entire systems – has passed stringent tests.
Our key developments and innovations include for example:
•Ability to generate (and simulate) direct
lightning strikes greater than 100 kiloamps
•ESD tests for discharges exceeding 300
kilovolts
•HIRF tests with electric field strengths up
to and exceeding 40,000 volts per metre
We offer comprehensive services in accordance with manufacturers‘ specifications and
standards like EUROCAE, IEC 61000-4-25,
MIL-STD, SAE, RTCA/DO-160 and many
more. Of course on request, we also provide testing according to customer-specific
requirements.

Toolcraft: High-strength aluminium powder for
high-tech components
Promising cooperation between Toolcraft
and Airbus APWorks
Metal laser melting is enjoying increasing
popularity. The method has made the successful leap from rapid prototyping to an
approved manufacturing technology. In principle, any material that is weldable can be
processed. Toolcraft uses nickel and titanium
alloys, stainless and tool steels, as well as
aluminium-silicon alloys. Now, the company
has also begun to use a high-strength aluminium alloy produced by the company Airbus
APWorks.
Complete solutions from a single source
Metal laser melting, in combination with
established core techniques such as turning
and milling for materials that are difficult to
machine, provides significant added value.
At the end, tactile or optical measurements
are taken of the manufactured components
and they are checked for surface faults using
a non-destructive method. The cooperation
with Airbus APWorks extends this process
chain to further elements. In the future, clients
will therefore benefit from topology optimisation of the design data. An evaluation of the
components takes place in advance. In view
of the many possibilities provided by the
additive manufacturing, redesigns can also
offer further potential. For example, savings
can be made with regard to the weight.
Metal laser melting - nearly making the
impossible possible
The advantages of this innovative method are
obvious: the production of complex geometries, the processing of difficult to machine
materials, and the production of components
in the shortest possible time with particularly
low material waste. Toolcraft always aims to
improve its procedures and to expand its material base. For this, reliable and innovative
materials-procurement partners are essential.
"The Airbus Group has produced a type of
powder that not only exhibits the positive
properties of aluminium, but also very high
strength with good elongation at break.
Scalmalloy®, as it is named, is therefore
unique in the market", says Toolcraft Managing Director Christoph Hauck.
Material with high-performance properties
Scalmalloy® is a corrosion-resistant material with the specific strength of titanium at a
simultaneously high ductility. In addition, it
is more than twice as strong as the aluminium-silicon powder currently in use. Because
of these properties, Scalmalloy® is ideal for
high-performance applications in the aerospace and aviation industries, for automotive applications and for special machinery
manufacturing.

Mieschke, Hofmann and Partner:
Dynamic Supply Chain Management
Global competition and varying customer
demand create a need for responsive and
agile supply chains. In consequence, firms
need to collaborate and share information.
Hence, supply chains are critical determinants for efficiency and effectiveness in the
face of rapidly changing and competitive
business environments. However, product
lifecycles are shortened, competition on a
price level increases, and inventories are reduced while the delivery performance shall
be improved.
Firms answer that challenge by implementing
initiatives such as global sourcing or tracking
and tracing in order to ensure competitiveness. Hence, firms have to comprehend the
information and make it useable to establish
transparency. One option is the visualization of material flows using a map based
approach.
Our solution creates transparency and assess risks about (production) sites on an ex-
act geographical location (versus mailbox
address). Further, our solution allows to assess the risk for various risks clusters such as
geographical risks, political risks, financial
risks (of suppliers) or capacity risks. Moreover, relations between sites can be analyzed
and assessed for the defined risk clusters.
In addition, a map allows to visualize the
supply chain. For example, lines representing the transportation route vary based on
the transport volume and/or frequency. Dynamic aspects such as inclusion of real-time
information, simulation, modelling, or further collaboration tools enrich our solution
and allows firms to improve supply chain
excellence. Hence, firms and supply chain
partners can react in real-time on occurring
events using a scenario approach. Various
scenarios allow firms to solve the conflict between best price and customer satisfaction
by ensuring the supply of goods. In addition, a relation to the balance sheet can be
implemented or further requirements can be
realized.
In consequence, firms gain insights on production sites, increase transparency for the
supply chain, and visualize the supply of
goods. Especially, the visualization enables
firms to get back the control of their supply
chains by transferring big data into useable
information. In specific, risks can be quantified, risk alerts can be automated, or the
impact of risks can be mapped to the supply chain from a qualitative perspective (disruptions of supply) and from a quantitative
perspective (effect on the balance sheet).
Furthermore, simulations improve the supply
chain performance by calculating the best
total cost of ownership (TCO) scenario, real-time data can be used to enrich decisions,
and routing of goods can be visualized in
real-time.
