In-service Data Management for Aerospace & Defense

In-service Data Management

Aerospace and defense products are highly complex, must perform in extreme environments, must maintain the highest standards of safety and reliability, and typically have a very long lifecycle. Our in-service lifecycle management solution manages the physical equipment configuration to support maintenance through status characteristics and history of part removal/installation/inspection. Leveraging core PLM functions such as security, workflow, change, and document management, our approach aligns asset BOMs and knowledge with physical asset structures for improved service delivery.

As aerospace and defense products are put into service, customers must ensure operational availability and contain aftermarket service costs. Since the lifecycles of these products are typically long, the need to maintain the configuration of products as maintained is very important. Product support cannot be delayed due to a lack of information needed to plan, schedule, and execute maintenance.

Effective in-service data management is achieved by maintaining a database of integrated information throughout an asset’s sustainment lifecycle, along with a closed feedback loop between all disciplines involved. This continuation of connected product data and knowledge is the ‘digital thread’ that provides a closed-loop body of knowledge from as-designed to as-planned, as-built, as-maintained, and as-serviced, and on to decommission as required.

Our solution provides a digital thread approach to in-service data management, enabling manufacturers, owners, and service organizations to support complex products within a service management environment. This configuration-driven environment provides service-oriented physical product definitions and maintenance information that facilitates the accurate and rapid performance of critical service functions.
