Project Background
In 2024, a renowned aerospace transport aircraft manufacturer based near Warsaw, Poland, launched a smart manufacturing upgrade project for their C-series mid-sized cargo aircraft. The goal: to enhance the automation of their assembly line, achieve full lifecycle data traceability, and seamlessly integrate with their MES System.Faced with increasing complexity in equipment coordination and data collection, the client required a powerful and compact Industrial PC for Aerospace Assembly—one that could operate reliably 24/7 in harsh industrial conditions.
After extensive testing and evaluation, the client selected the CESIPC EPC-302A, a fanless industrial PC equipped with Intel® 12th Gen Core™ processors, to serve as the control and data processing hub across multiple production zones.
Project Requirements
The aerospace manufacturer required an industrial PC that met the following criteria:
- Fanless, dust-resistant design for cleanroom and industrial shopfloor environments
- Wide voltage input (9–36V DC) for compatibility with factory power systems
- Rich I/O ports (COM, LAN, USB) for connecting PLCs, industrial robots, sensors, and NDT equipment
- Compact size to fit inside control cabinets or mounted on AGVs
- High performance to support SCADA systems, HMI terminals, and real-time data analytics
- Aluminium Alloy Material-Vibration resistance for use near heavy-duty assembly equipment

Real-World Deployment in Poland
The EPC-302A was installed in several core areas of the aircraft assembly plant:
1. Wing Assembly Line Control
Used to interface with robotic arms and servo systems, ensuring precise bolt placement and automated wing structure alignment.
2. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Station
Connected to ultrasonic probes and industrial cameras, EPC-302A collects high-resolution imaging data and sends it to the MES in real time.
3. AGV Navigation Controller
Installed as the central brain of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) responsible for transporting components between workstations.
4. MES Data Acquisition Terminal
Collects real-time sensor data and operator inputs across the shop floor, ensuring full traceability from part to finished aircraft.
Project Outcomes & Customer Feedback
After three months of operation, the results were impressive:
- ✅ Aerospace assembly efficiency improved by over 28%
- ✅ Seamless coordination between workstations and subsystems
- ✅ Real-time quality monitoring and full traceability achieved
- ✅ EPC-302A ran 24/7 with zero system failure or overheating
“The CESIPC EPC-302A has proven to be a robust and versatile solution for our aircraft production line. Its fanless design, I/O flexibility, and strong computing power meet all our expectations.”
