UPTIME Predictive Maintenance:
Lessons Learned and Best Practices in Aviation Industry
The UPTIME 3rd Webinar addresses benefits of predictive maintenance in a highly complex transportation asset operations deployed in the aviation industry. UPTIME Partner from FFT Produktionssyteme GmbH & Co. KG shares his experiences, challenges and some lessons learnt from the implementation of the UPTIME Platform in the FFT use case.
The use case focusses on one specific production logistics asset used in the aviation industry, so-called “jig” for the transport of wing covers of commercial aircraft. The reliability of production logistics assets is a critical cost factor in the production of high-value products such as aircraft and needs to be considered along with the reliability of other production equipment to ensure a timely, cost-effective and high-quality production processes. Due to the critical nature of the deployment of these assets, the requirements are both technically and organisationally very high. The need has arisen to increase efficiency in maintenance execution as well as in reporting to the client, who in most of our projects is responsible for the logistics coordination of their assets.
The webinar is free of charge, dedicated to people who want to learn and see a concrete implementation of the UPTIME Predictive Maintenance Platform in a real business case. It is interactive, where you have the opportunity to ask questions to the experts panel and we are happy to receive your feedback.
