A key part of the digital transformation of the aviation industry is the shift to digital parts-tracking from the paper-based practice that it is today. By transforming the process to a secure digital platform, many of the information limits that are currently creating problems can be overcome. Often data entered in paper forms is incomplete; digital entries might be able to prevent this. For airworthiness purposes, having part data in a digital format means that the entire history of the part - from birth - can be readily accessed. The goal is to solve the problem of: “How to create a federated view of the life of an Aircraft while its systems are siloed?”
