Provides Operators With An Integrated Data Source For Engine
And Airplane Management
A major planemaker and engine company have launched a shared
data service, which they say is the first of its kind in the
aerospace industry. It will allow both Boeing and Rolls-Royce to
offer faster, better-informed advice to airlines, in order to
maximise aircraft availability.
For the first time, data from an aircraft and the engines that
power it will be combined on a single system providing customers
with an efficient, integrated data source, improving an airline's
ability to manage its product health monitoring. By integrating
data from Rolls-Royce engines and Boeing airplanes, both
manufacturers will offer comprehensive information and improved
response time to customers. The service, available to airlines with
both Rolls-Royce Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) and Boeing Airplane
Health Management (AHM) data, will initially be available for the
Trent 1000/Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Trent 800/Boeing 777
combinations.
"This innovative service is focused on providing airlines with
better information, which will help to improve the speed and
quality of decision-making and enable operators to maximise
operational efficiency," said Tom Palmer, Rolls-Royce Services
Director - Civil Aerospace.
"This level of co-operation between Boeing and Rolls-Royce will
greatly benefit our mutual customers. Our relationship is industry
leading and supports Boeing's continued focus on helping customers
optimise performance in real-time," said Per Noren, Vice President
of Information Services, Boeing.
By year end, the companies say it will also cover
RB211-524/Boeing 747 and RB211-535/Boeing 757 combinations.
