Honeywell and Lufthansa Technik to bring new level of predictive health management expertise to airlines
World-class Honeywell Forge analytics available on Lufthansa
Technik's AVIATAR platform to drive better decision-making
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and Lufthansa Technik are collaborating to
deliver the best of Honeywell Forge for Airlines and Lufthansa
Technik maintenance analytics on AVIATAR to help airline operators
increase the availability of their aircraft and reduce costs
associated with operations, flight delays, and cancellations.
The collaboration will create a comprehensive data analytics solution
for airlines - from the data pipe, to a platform that digitizes
maintenance data, to realized benefits based on analytics and
predictive tools.
"We are working to provide the world's airlines and other
stakeholders in the industry with access to a comprehensive digital
operations suite that will ultimately reduce operational costs,
improve maintenance turnaround times, and get planes into the sky
faster," said Dr. Christian Langer, vice president Digital Fleet
Solutions at Lufthansa Technik. "We live in a data-driven world, and
the more Lufthansa Technik can support better data analysis for
maintenance and other services, the better it is for our customers.
The inclusion and collaboration of Honeywell Forge analytics with the
Lufthansa Technik offering will further foster that development to
help improve airlines' operations at scale."
New aircraft can produce 50 times more data than many older aircraft
still in service. That increase in data volume leads to greater
complexity, but also provides significant opportunities to increase
safety and efficiency. The data not only needs to be stored - it must
be sorted, analyzed, interpreted, and translated into meaningful
insights and actionable recommendations. Honeywell and Lufthansa
Technik, two of the leading maintenance, repair and overhaul service
providers in the world, excel at that translation from data to
insight. With inclusion of the Honeywell Forge analytics on the
AVIATAR platform, customers can broaden their aircraft component
coverage and depth, thus enabling customers to make faster and better
operational decisions.
"Combining the power of Honeywell Forge Connected Maintenance with
the capability of AVIATAR provides a new option for airlines looking
for a total aircraft digital maintenance solution," said Jim Currier,
president, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India Sales at Honeywell,
Aerospace. "Honeywell and Lufthansa Technik bring decades of
experience with aircraft maintenance to this digital experience. This
results in opportunities for airlines to reduce minimum equipment
list failures by up to 35% while reducing flight cancellations or
delays due to maintenance."
