On August 27–28, 2026, the 2026 Forum on Efficient Machining Technology for Aircraft Manufacturing and Components was successfully held in Xi’an. Organized by the Shaanxi Aeronautical Society, the forum focused on two major themes: efficient machining and flexible manufacturing of aviation components, as well as AI‑enabled aviation manufacturing and green production. The event brought together airframe manufacturers, leading research institutes, and quality component suppliers to explore the path toward manufacturing upgrade in the era of large‑scale production of China’s domestically developed large aircraft.
Modula was invited to attend the forum, presenting its vertical lift module (VLM) solutions through both an exhibition booth and a keynote speech, engaging in in‑depth exchanges with industry peers.

What Did Modula Bring to the Forum?
At the forum, Modula set up a professional exhibition booth showcasing its VLM solutions on site, allowing attendees to experience first‑hand the transformative impact of intelligent storage systems on space utilization and operational efficiency.
Meanwhile, Ms. Tina, Sales Director of Modula, was invited to deliver a speech titled “Storage Solutions for Small to Medium‑Sized Parts in the Aircraft Manufacturing and Components Industry.” The presentation focused on intelligent warehousing and flexible material management for precision aviation components, sharing Modula’s practical experience and insights from serving aviation clients such as Dassault Falcon and Safran. She also engaged with fellow experts and industry peers to explore new approaches to improving efficiency in aviation manufacturing.

Small Footprint, Massive Value
Modula specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of vertical lift modules, committed to providing high‑density, high‑security intelligent storage solutions for high‑value, high‑precision materials.
Modula Lift：
-
Maximum load capacity per tray: up to 990 kg
-
Up to 90 tray cycles per hour
-
Saves up to 90% of floor space
In the aerospace sector, precision components come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, imposing stringent requirements on space utilization, protection levels, and storage/retrieval efficiency. Traditional floor‑level shelving often suffers from large footprints, slow retrieval times, and inadequate protection. Modula’s VLM solutions, by contrast, extend storage capacity vertically, significantly increasing storage density within the same footprint — making the most of valuable workshop and warehouse space.
Combined with precise picking and intelligent inventory management systems, Modula’s solutions enable fine‑grained material control and full traceability throughout the entire process. They effectively reduce material search and handling time between production stages, minimize human handling errors, and help accelerate production rhythms. This is precisely the “invisible accelerator” that aviation manufacturers need most as they move toward large‑scale, lean production.
03
The Trusted Choice of Aviation Clients
Precision manufacturing demands near‑stringent requirements from partners — tight tolerances, rapid response, and unwavering quality. With extensive experience accumulated in the precision manufacturing industry, Modula has partnered with a number of globally renowned aviation enterprises, including Dassault Falcon and Safran, with its products and services having passed the rigorous tests of high‑standard aviation clients.
Whether it is the exacting quality control requirements of business jet manufacturers or the demanding turnover efficiency standards of aero‑engine giants, Modula has consistently delivered stable and reliable solutions that exceed client expectations, earning its place as a trusted partner in precision material management. These real‑world successes are precisely the foundation of our confidence as we enter the Xi’an market and, more broadly, China’s aviation supply chain.
The window for scaling up China’s domestically produced large‑aircraft industry is opening wide. The efficiency and security of material management are becoming a critical link in manufacturers’ efforts to improve quality and productivity.
With its professional, comprehensive VLM solutions, Modula is committed to walking hand in hand with partners across the aircraft manufacturing supply chain — driving quality improvement and efficiency enhancement every step of the way.
