UK-based global major aerospace and defence group BAE Systems on Monday unveiled its new intelligent factory at its complex in Warton in Lancashire, England. This factory has been developed to support the UK’s Tempest next (sixth) generation combat aircraft technologies programme.  The group described the new facility as “first-of-its-kind 4.0 factory … applying game-changing digital technologies”. BAE Systems did not give a precise figure for the cost of developing and erecting the new factory, saying only that it was a “multi-million pound investment”.
