Hadrian builds automated factories to produce precision metal components for the Space & Defense industry. By automating the manufacturing process, Hadrian can create parts significantly faster and at a lower cost compared to traditional machine shops. Their factories can deliver flight-grade machined parts within 5 to 21 days, depending on the complexity of the components. The company utilizes advanced scheduling and capacity management systems to ensure timely delivery and provides customers with real-time visibility into their orders, including inspection results. Unlike competitors, Hadrian focuses on automation and efficiency, aiming to alleviate the production bottlenecks faced by manufacturers. The goal is to enhance the production capabilities for rockets, satellites, jets, and drones, while also partnering with customers to improve their product introduction and production throughput.
