German provider MTU Maintenance intends to produce own software Cortex in order to manage aircraft engines. The software combines MTU engine technical data with artificial intelligence algorithms by generating engine maintenance diagrams, including the scope of work required at each stage of the engine life cycle.

"Our new service reduces maintenance and operating costs, thus increasing the availability to fly. It is a proactive tool that provides split-second decisions and perfectly adapted to customer's conditions. Combined with MTU expert advice and effectiveness evaluation, the program will optimize assets and avoid unnecessary costs", Martin Fries-Petersen says, the MTU's Senior Vice President for Maintenance Programs.

Another digital product was launched by Boeing in partnership with TrustFlight, RaceRocks and the University of British Columbia. Partners are developing a new platform for collecting and processing technical data. Their goal is to create the first global web-based storage platform for technical registration and airworthiness data collected from all parts of the supply chain. The platform will be called the Digital Aviation Record System (DARS) and is being developed in Canada with investment support from the government.
