As a riskshare partner, P3 and its manufacturing partner Deharde developed the components for the cylindrical part of the upper fuselage section. These are the largest structural shells currently produced in the aerospace industry. Colleagues from France, Germany, India and the UK worked together transnationally and very successfully in this project. Thanks to our automated design processes and full-3D actuated production, we were able to reduce development and production times. By the way, the Supershells are delivered in transport boxes by ship and heavy haulage, making them the largest "packages" P3 has ever sent out. We are very proud to have contributed an "unmissable" share to one of the largest transport aircrafts and to be part of the Beluga family.
First flight for the automated design of the BelugaXL
It was a great milestone in the 15 years of collaboration between Airbus and P3: After 3.5 years of design, certification and manufacturing work, the smiling BelugaXL prosperously and in time completed its first flight. With 30% additional loading capacity, it provides the potential to ensure internal transport requirements in the future.

P3 supports the implementation of the Comfort Check-in at Deutsche Bahn
Deutsche Bahn is taking another step towards digitalization with its new Comfort Check-in. This tool enables passengers to validate their ticket themselves, eliminating the need for ticket inspections since the check-in of the reserved seat will automatically be displayed on the train conductor’s handheld device.
P3 supports Deutsche Bahn in the rollout management for the Comfort Check-in during the runup on the DB long-distance traffic fleet. The Comfort Check-in is being implemented step by step in the long-distance trains and will be available in ICE trains starting this June.

Inspired by interactive elements of ICAROS, which gave participants a virtual reality wing, the humanoid robot Pepper, or a delightful molecular dinner, we set up an atmosphere to inspire creativity from which the participants could draw from. To kick off the event, the digital prophet, Lukas Bessis introduced the participants into the ‘beta world’.
A central part of the Q-Lab was the generation of ideas using ‘Design thinking’. Here, trendsetting ideas and concepts such as ‘self-controlling processes’ or the ‘project marketplace’ were developed. ‘Predictive Analytics’ proved to be particularly promising for the participants, whereby artificial intelligence is used to proactively predict future problems in the supply chain. Have you caught the digital fever too? Check out the highlights of the event here.

P3 is researching the Digital Quality of the future in the Q-Lab
While P3 has long been known for its competence in quality management, we have quickly developed a reputation for our innovative ideas in the field of digitalization.
Quality management representatives from across a range of industries were invited to the P3 Q-Lab Workshop ‘Quality Goes digital’ to envision how digital quality should look in the future.

We determine the test winner and publish the results regularly as the P3 connect Mobile Benchmark. Our benchmark combines the scope, scale and scientific rigour that P3 developed while conducting benchmarks in Europe, the US and Australia. They provide users with an objective way of comparing the performance of different mobile networks and their developments against the previous years. The benchmark will also give the operators the opportunity to demonstrate both the strengths of their respective networks and improvements in performance or coverage over time as they continue to invest in these assets.

Mobile networks in worldwide comparison
For more than 15 years, P3 has been testing the networks of mobile phone operators around the world. In 2016 alone, P3 compiled more than 60,000 measurement hours in 65 countries across five continents, with its test vehicles covering almost 1,000,000 kilometres. In addition, we carry out independent network tests in a further 8 countries.

It defines their inter-relationships and changes, to ensure product requirements and documentation conformity. Implementation of effective Configuration Management can reap enormous benefits. It can actually enhance productivity by substantially reducing the life cycle costs, preventing unnecessary duplication of effort, delays in schedule and providing traceability and visibility.
P3 was involved in the study as cooperation partner, implemented by the NATO Working Group 7 under the AC 327 Life Cycle Management Group. All results are based on the experiences of NATO nations as well as NATO bodies and are released to be published in 2017. Find the publication here.
P3 evaluates cost saving potentials within the NATO
In an attempt to reveal the cost reduction potential by implementing Configuration Management, a Configuration Management Study was launched by NATO in cooperation with P3 group in 2012. Configuration Management is the process of managing products by managing their requirements...

It has members from all over the globe including General Motors, Ford, FCA, Tesla, Faraday Future, Atieva, Audi, BMW, Daimler, VW, Porsche, ChargePoint, NRG, Recargo, and others. P3’s role will be to develop the acceptance of a global EV charging standard with its current members along with other involved industries and groups. “With several thousand charging cycles on test-drives all over the world, P3 has vast hands-on experience on the challenges of interoperability”, says Markus Dehn, P3 Representative E-Mobility. “Within CharIN we will use our experience from the street, lab and test-stands to help developing an international certification system for CCS.”
P3 joins CharIN e.V.
To further develop the Combined Charging System (CCS) together, P3 has become core member of CharIN e. V. The aim is to enable optimized electromobility for everybody with a functioning network of charging stations and smooth charging.
CharIN e.V. is a widespread alliance of automotive OEMs, Tier1 and industry groups that was created to develop and establish the CCS as the standard for charging battery-powered electric vehicles.
