How Sonplas and its partners are advancing automated defence technology.
The defence industry is undergoing significant change. Instead of manual low volume production, industrial manufacturing processes are becoming the focus. Sonplas is transferring its many years of experience from the automotive and civil aerospace sectors to defence applications. Together with Cuonics and de Jonge, the company is developing assembly and testing solutions that meet increasing demands for efficiency, scalability, and process reliability. The key lies in combining electronics development, intelligent data processing, and automated manufacturing.
