Data-Driven Aircraft Maintenance: How to get there?
Discover how improving safety, effectiveness, and reliability through data-driven maintenance can transform the aviation industry. Learn how to overcome data quality and integration challenges, integrate and analyse data for predictive maintenance, and reap the benefits of maximising aircraft utilisation and minimising unplanned maintenance.
Data Management Best Practices for Aircraft Maintenance
With the increased usage of more advanced technologies and new aircraft, data has become a key player in enhancing aircraft maintenance practices. Thus, the importance of effective data management is increasing as well and is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of aircraft operations. Aircraft maintenance relies heavily on accurate and timely data to make informed decisions and keep fleets in optimal condition. Therefore, today we will outline the key essentials to be able to make optimal use of data and the benefits of it for aircraft maintenance
Implementing Data Analytics - Navigating the In-House vs. External Solutions Dilemma
Data generated by modern aircraft can be a goldmine of information, providing insights that can enhance safety, efficiency, and maintenance. By using data analytics this huge amount of data can be turned into actionable information and insights.
Now we need to focus on a pivotal decision — the choice between initiating an in-house analytics project or collaborating with external suppliers who offer pre-existing solutions
The Challenges of MRO Inventory Management
Integrating MRO operations is crucial. But the mismatch in airline software systems and maintenance equipment hinders efficiency. Nexus is a data quality management solution that provides robust control for MROs, pre-built interfaces, and seamless data exchange.
Data Analytics in Aircraft Maintenance: From Insights to Action
In today's fast-paced world, data is everywhere, and aviation is no exception. Modern aircraft generate an enormous amount of data during every flight, from engine performance statistics to in-flight sensor readings. This data can be a goldmine of information, providing insights that can enhance safety, efficiency, and maintenance.
Tips & Tricks: Important points to consider during a data migration project to avoid airworthiness data issues in the long term and save costs
Migration of an airline’s fleet airworthiness & maintenance data is not something that happens daily. Typically, it becomes relevant when the airline’s maintenance & engineering department selects to implement a new MRO/M&E software system to manage its fleet. However, the way HOW the data migration is performed as part of the MRO/M&E software system implementation is of great significance and will have a long-lasting effect in the years to come.
How to Identify the state of your Data Quality and Integrity and what to do?
Before talking about the state of your data, let’s first get quickly into what is the meaning of data quality and data integrity.
Data quality refers to the overall level of excellence and trustworthiness of data. It is the measure of how well data meets the needs of its intended users and the degree to which it is fit for its intended purpose. Factors that contribute to data quality include accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, and relevance.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) defines data quality as Accuracy, Resolution, and Integrity.
Data in Aircraft Maintenance – What can we do with it?
Data collected during aircraft maintenance can be used for various purposes beyond just regulatory compliance and proactive maintenance. Below we have listed some examples of how data can be leveraged in aircraft maintenance:
How Data Analytics Can Improve Airworthiness Management
One of the main benefits of using data analytics in airworthiness management is that it allows for a more proactive approach to aircraft maintenance.
Is your Airworthiness Compliance in Danger? How to get a First Indication with The Data Traffic Light System
Data plays a crucial role in ensuring airworthiness compliance for aircraft. Regulatory bodies require operators to maintain detailed records of maintenance, inspections, and repairs, as well as the airworthiness status of their aircraft.
Are you using Excel or other Workarounds because you don't trust the Data in your MRO/M&E Software System?
You are not alone. We often come across workarounds, even at airlines that have modern MRO/M&E software systems in place. MRO/M&E systems rely on data that is created and maintained by multiple users, often from different departments with different levels of experience.
How to Save Costs in Aircraft Maintenance by Focusing on Data?
When thinking of aircraft maintenance costs, the quickest rationale is to take your costs for scheduled maintenance, add a margin for unscheduled maintenance costs divide it by 365 days, and there you have your Daily Maintenance Costs.
Is Predictive maintenance On Your Agenda?
Before starting with predictive maintenance we need to work on one important aspect - data quality and data standardization
Airline and MRO Customer Examples: Automation of Business Processes
Airline Engineering and Maintenance Teams is the automation of processes on your agenda? In this blog we present three processes that can be automated that are simple to implement and have a big impact resulting in cost savings and efficiency gains
Practical Example: Automatic Data Quality Checks
When one of the world’s largest helicopter operators knew that the data residing in their MRO software system led to the grounding of aircraft, they turned to EXSYN.
Practical Example: Aircraft & Engine Phase In - Automatic Data Loader
Phasing-in new aircraft and engines can be a time-consuming task. One of the largest cargo operators wanted to change this situation and turned to EXSYN.
Aircraft Data Management: What Are The Biggest Challenges and What Can You Do
The data in an airline's system is the lifeblood of any operations, but it can also be a challenge to manage. The need to store and manage this information is only growing, but so too does the rate at which it's created. Some of the top challenges airlines face are
