Future Industry Processes & Technologies

Innovating safely for tomorrow’s industrial world

As industries move toward more sustainable, digital, and high-performance operations, future readiness hinges on the successful integration of cutting-edge technologies and processes. Whether it’s automation, new materials, or smart infrastructure—these transitions must be safe, scalable, and sustainable.

From early-stage concepts to full-scale industrialisation, preparing for the future means anticipating challenges before they arise—and embedding safety, resilience, and environmental responsibility into the heart of innovation.

Why Airbus Protect?

At Airbus Protect, we help industrial pioneers safely bring innovation to life. Our multidisciplinary teams guide technology development projects from Research & Technologies to Industrialisation, ensuring that emerging solutions are ready for real-world integration into tomorrow’s programmes.

With expertise on assembly technologies, electrification, and process safety, we support companies in building future-proof operations. We don’t just prepare for change—we shape it, ensuring that innovation meets regulatory, societal, and safety expectations.

Industrial risk: Why we’re investing in enhanced 3D modelling capabilities for hazardous phenomena

Why do accurate 3D simulations depend on computing power? Airbus Protect’s Sustainability Business Unit studies various industrial risk scenarios, including toxic dispersion, fire and explosion. To do this, we use accurate 3D simulations. Creating these efficiently (with acceptable restitution time) relies on computing power.  Computing power is particularly important when computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is […]
