To support these single-aisle aircraft production goals, GKN-Fokker planned to open an automated production line at its site in 2018, with a goal of manufacturing panels of up to in size and increasing the production rate by a factor of ten. In targeting a fifty-fold increase of GLARE production capacity to per month, Premium AEROTEC planned to update its automated test cell in summer 2018 to manufacture demonstrator panels of . This size will match the largest GLARE panels to be potentially used by Airbus in short-range and medium-range aircraft. The GLARE automation process for prototypes reached technology readiness level (TRL) 4 in late 2016, exceeded TRL 5 as of 2018, and has an eventual target of TRL 6.
