Research and analytics play a role in the efficiencies and advancements of every industry, and it is no different in the highly specified Aerospace and Defense sectors. Data analysis can assist in efficient and compliant production, flight control and mechanics and even in maintenance and repair.
Our Group of Companies is poised as one of the most respected global suppliers of Aerospace components, from Cable to Hardware and more. We understand the need for precision, compliance, safety and efficiency in this globally impactful industry.
This blog will explore some of the primary ways data analysis and research are improving the industry from manufacturing processes to flight safety, and how our products and innovation help to support efficiency in Aerospace and Defense.
Data Analysis in Production
Analyzing data around the production and manufacturing of aircraft is crucial to maximizing efficiency while preserving safety and compliance. As mentioned, Aerospace manufacturers and corporations must follow stringent standards for material quality, manufacturing processes, and more. Data analysis in the manufacturing process can help ensure these are being met, and that aircraft will pass inspection when completed.
With such high standards comes a complex supply chain, with many precision manufacturers involved along the way to a completed aircraft. As this industry is global and time-sensitive, monitoring and analyzing this supply chain for efficiency, while keeping up with production status and delays is critical to meeting deadlines and budgets.
Predicting the flow of this supply chain, ensuring quality control with products, and understanding whether production is meeting industry standards are crucial aspects to minimizing unnecessary downtime and getting Aerospace projects done on time and effectively.
Data Analysis in the Air
With new technology comes new safety measures, and there is no shortage of ways that data and analytics are making aircraft safer and as high-performance as possible in the air. Utilizing technology to produce and track data in the air can help diagnose issues before they become a fatal flaw.
Being able to see fuel consumption, aircraft stress levels, flight tracking and much more allows for early detection of any defective or concerning issue during flight. Also, analyzing flight data such as speed, altitude and direction can allow for communication to pilots about altering their flight to avoid concerning weather conditions, preserve fuel, or whatever other decision may be required to keep them safe.
Communicating these potential issues in real-time prevents many issues that may come from negligence or a lack of knowledge of upcoming conditions, other planes in the area and more.
Data Analysis in Aircraft Maintenance
Considering the intense environmental demands of an aircraft, the length of some transatlantic flights, and the number of souls on board, aircraft maintenance and safety is as important as it gets. Therefore, simply operating on a set schedule of maintenance or waiting for malfunction to occur, predictive maintenance is crucial.
Reviewing part status and effectiveness constantly allows for advanced notice of a required replacement or repair before additional wear and tear. Predictive maintenance prevents delays in the production and manufacturing of aircraft, and helps companies plan for unexpected repairs before they potentially cause issues. Scheduling repairs and ordering parts is complex given the precise supply chain in the industry; thus, these decisions need to be prompt.
Trusting premium suppliers who produce high-quality products with quick lead times is essential to meeting the demands of predictive maintenance and getting repair issues resolved.
