10. How do you fulfill growing demand and meet tough customer expectations?
So how do you fulfill growing demand while meeting tough customer expectations?

11. Go digital and reach for the skies!
Digital technology is transforming the way aviation companies operate, opening up an exciting new world of possibilities.

12. Deliver actionable real-time insights
Run smarter factories
Create new services
You can run smarter factories. We’re now seeing digital shop floors with 3D printing, machine-to-machine automation, and artificial intelligence. These enable highly agile production with predictive quality controls, reducing rework.
You can create new services. Today’s airplanes are fitted with more than 10,000 digital sensors. This delivers more performance data than ever before, enabling aviation companies to develop advanced analytic and predictive applications that deliver added value to airlines.
You can deliver actionable real-time insights. Digital technologies allow you to track thousands of flights per day in 4D – that’s 3D spatial visualization with comprehensive real-time context information. This supports more-effective decision making and enables airlines to manage operations by exception.
Deliver actionable real-time insights

13. Reevaluate
To achieve this, you must move away from linear supply chains to a digital network. And you must reevaluate every part of your business – your business models, processes, and the way people work.

14. Reevaluate Business models
To achieve this, you must move away from linear supply chains to a digital network. And you must reevaluate every part of your business – your business models, processes, and the way people work.

15. Reevaluate Business models Business processes
To achieve this, you must move away from linear supply chains to a digital network. And you must reevaluate every part of your business – your business models, processes, and the way people work.

17. Reimagine

18. Reimagine $ Business models Total lifecycle ownership
Aviation companies need to reimagine business models.
Increasingly, we’re seeing total lifecycle ownership where there’s a requirement to provide services across the entire lifecycle of an aircraft.
Information as a product is also becoming an important business area, with aviation companies selling not only equipment but analytics data to their customers.
OEMs are playing a key role as digital integrators, installing and setting up the digital systems that give airlines so much information.
Finally, 3D printing is helping aviation companies to streamline production to cut lead times.

19. Reimagine $ Business models Business processes
We also need to reimagine business processes. Digital transformation enables many new approaches. These include:
Programs to measure reliability using the Internet of Things
Smarter, connected manufacturing
Real-time, responsive supply chains
And redesigned customer service

22. The solution automatically triggers a maintenance demand.
Efficiently dispatch field technicians
Manage contract profitability
Automatically predict component failure
Optimize maintenance resources
Auto-source spare parts and personnel by searching the business network
Purchase parts using a user-friendly Web interface
Automatically trigger maintenance demand
Route parts to the maintenance location
Here’s just one example of how the digital networks can streamline maintenance processes to reduce costs and downtime.
Here we can see that aircraft sensors are feeding telemetry data (that includes temperature, vibration, and pressure readings) and fault codes to a central software solution.
This data enables the solution to automatically predict the failure of a particular component.
The solution automatically triggers a maintenance demand.
In response to this, field technicians are efficiently dispatched to resolve the issue.
The software automatically sources the correct spare parts and appropriate personnel by searching the company’s business network.
In this way, the company optimizes its maintenance resources.
The operator purchases the parts through a user-friendly interface.
The software routes the spare parts to the maintenance location.
And the company manages its contract profitability effectively.
