CONFERENCE AGENDA OF PRESENTATIONS

MRO / M&E IT TRACK – (Main Conference room) FLIGHT OPERATIONS IT TRACK – (Workshop / Showcase room)

09.30 - 10.00 Modern Aircraft and ‘Big-Data’. Drinking from the Fire Hose: How air-lines, operators and MROs can best use this stream of sophisticated information.The modern aircraft sits at the centre of a complex ecosystem of hardware, software, content and data. The stream of information is becoming increasingly more sophisticated, with greater volume, greater criticality and more stakeholders taking a keener interest. Technology trends such as mobility, wearable technology and internet of things are driving efficiencies and safety whilst adding complexity and volume to the flow of information at the same time. Throw airline mergers, global MRO networks and the constraints of mixed and legacy fleets into the mix and tapping the information stream is becoming increasingly challenging. How can operators and maintainers make sense of the flow of information? What can technologists do to prevent those wishing to drink from the fire hose from getting drenched? Paul Saunders, Global Product Manager, Flatirons Solutions
