“In our reality today, the human is the inefficient side of the process. We make mistakes and have emotions, but artificial intelligence (AI) helps take these away.”
At Aerospace Tech Week, Frank Stevens, VP MRO Services, Embraer joined to discuss how AI, augmented reality (AR), and predictive maintenance are transforming aircraft maintenance. From opening up new learning opportunities to reducing errors and enhancing efficiency, the digitalisation of the industry is changing the game for MRO services.
During this 5-minute interview, Stevens explains how leveraging AR, AI, and predictive maintenance correctly can take human inefficiency out of the process, removing emotion from data interrogation and relieving the industry of “analysis paralysis.” The benefits of effectively using these tech-based tools are countless from enhancing safety to financial efficiency. However, with the industry navigating these emerging technologies, the optimal balance between human and tech is unclear for now.
Watch the full interview now.
Questions:
- How are AI, data, and extended reality already revolutionising aircraft maintenance practices, and how do you foresee this developing in the next five years?
- Can you outline some of the potential challenges with integrating predictive maintenance and how are you addressing these?
- We know the digitisation of these processes can improve operational efficiency etc. What are some of the lesser-known benefits to unlock?
Aerospace Tech Week Americas, 19-20 November will be gathering MRO IT experts from across the industry looking at the possibilities in predictive maintenance, modernising TechOps processes, technical roadmaps and much more.
