The latest sensor technologies and AI-algorithms support aircraft maintenance processes to become more efficient. Sensor data and AI are used to monitor the health of aircraft systems and trigger alerts before they fail. This is referred to as condition-based maintenance: maintenance is done only when the health of the systems really needs it and not at fixed …

Blog by Roberto Hirschmann – Services & Support Embraer Commercial Aviation and member of the ReMAP Advisory Board Hopefully aircraft builders will be able to design aircraft that will tell us exactly what is happening, so airlines don’t have many surprises during normal operations due to unexpected failures, and also, there are chances to reduce …

“Now we must prove that condition based maintenance is mature enough to implement into aviation” Blog by Ludovic Simon(*) (Thales) – Member of the Advisory Board of ReMAP The business is pretty tough. We need to optimize maintenance. “We are changing from a very old fashioned method of maintenance (e.g. MSG3 process) to a new …
Bruno Santos, Coordinator of ReMAP is presenting today, at ZAL TechCenter, Hamburg, the project’s ambition for the future of aircraft maintenance.Take a look at the presentation to know more about what we are doing in this area.
ReMAP will explore and optimize the use of different sensing technologies for structural health management (SHM). Acoustic emission sensors will be completed with high-frequency piezo-electric sensors and optical fibre sensors. CTEC and ENSAM explains what is needed to implement such techniques.
The ReMAP consortium has met in Patras, Greece, in the 4th and 5th of June, to discuss the results of the project, one year past its beginning, in a meeting hosted by the University of Patras.
Since the kick off meeting in June 2018, five architectural scenarios have been examined that could be used for the ReMAP-IT-platform. With this platform, European airlines will be able to monitor the health of their aircraft and plan their maintenance with state-of-the-art techniques corresponding to the available data that modern airplanes generate. The choice for one scenario has been made now.
The European consortium that works towards a roadmap for smarter fleet health management in aviation (ReMAP) discussed the results of its first half year research on 27th and 28th of November 2018. All 13 parties involved gathered at Instituto Pedro Nunes, Coimbra, Portugal.
At the moment of writing this article, almost six months have passed since the kick-off of ReMAP. Tens of millions of flights have been conducted during these six months, and I am proud to see that according to flightstats.com, KLM ranked first in airline punctuality for two consecutive months during this period (July and August).
In the past 28th of September, ReMAP, represented by the University of Coimbra, was presented in IEEE Engineering Day, in Lisbon.
