AircraftIT MRO Journal Vol 3.4 Autonomics and the Network of Everything (NoE)Michael Denis
Its official - The Internet Of Things (IoT) Takes Over As The Most Hyped Technology,” wrote Gil Press on Forbes.com announcing Gartner’s annual Hype Cycle report on Emerging Technologies.
So what is The Internet of Things (IoT) and what does it have to do with aviation MRO?
IoT isn’t about the Internet nor about Things, rather, it’s about machines connected across networks of autonomous agents automatically processing events, without human intervention, to create value by adaptively analyzing big data to diagnose and prognosticate granular knowledge in order to provide value to human consumers of one.
Wow – that’s a mouth full of consultantese!
Like many innovations and capabilities, IoT originated in military research and development. Network Centric Warfare and Network Centric Operations (NCO) were strategic capabilities undertaken by the US DOD, UK MoD and NATO in parallel with Sweden’s Network Based
Defense (NBD).
Central to NCO/NBD methods and capabilities is the concept of sense and respond. Sense and respond logistics (S&RL) is commonly equated with autonomic logistics; but in fact S&RL only includes the non-adaptive
mechanics of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Machine-to-Human (M2H) transactions. The Network of Everything (NoE) adds to S&RL and IoT, Human-to-Human (H2H) interactions, collaboration, knowledge formation and complex decision making.
Diagnostics, prognostics, health management are common terms in both medicine and aviation service lifecycle management. Another common term adapted from biology is autonomic. The autonomic nervous system is the involuntary, autonomous and automatic control system for visceral organs functioning below the level of consciousness. The characteristics of an autonomic system are automatic, autonomous and adaptive.
Hmm, sounds a bit like what those technology geeks were describing for the Internet of Things.
Lockheed Martin developed the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) for performance based service lifecycle management of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
New generation commercial aircraft like the Boeing 787, Airbus A380 and A350, Bombardier C-Series, Embraer E2, and Mitsubishi MRJ-90 create up to 1 terabyte of data per flight from the plethora of sensors on board. That data is being processed in flight and post flight, combined with human actions and content, and then analyzed to prognosticate who should do what, where and when in order to optimize asset utilization, labor productivity and supply effectiveness.
Networked autonomics are alive and well in aviation. But these initial capabilities have been stove piped along OEM specific closed proprietary networks.
MRO business networks need open universally interoperable MRO technology networks in order to optimize planes, parts, people and plants across the industry. The last piece of which is the ASD SX000i data standards.

Many Enterprise Architecture (EA) implementations do not succeed in realising their full potential due to a failure in managing the “fuzzy” human aspects of organisational transformation. Change management is, or should be, an integral part of EA implementations. This presentation explores the role and composition of EA Change Management and examines how it differs from change leadership. It reviews John Kotter’s 8 steps for leading change and provides an overview of the process of managing human change in EA implementations and organisational transformations. The presentation also includes a consideration of the psychology of change - what psychological factors, change strategies and organisation conditions increase the individual’s motivation to change, and which merely exacerbate normal resistance to change?

Enterprise Architecture Governance: A Framework for Successful BusinessNathaniel Palmer
Enterprise Architectures play an important role supporting business transformation initiatives. Enterprise Architecture Governance (EAG) provides a structure for defining relevant strategies and compliance processes. This Level 3 Communications case study presents a detailed framework composed of three essential components of EAG:
1) Organizational Accountability must be clearly defi ned for all EAG aspects, and executive sponsorship is essential. Level 3 formed an executive steering committee with broad representation, preventing EAG from becoming an IT-only initiative.
2) Strategy Defi nition provides the roadmap for business transformation initiatives. Architectural guiding principles defi ne values and offer input into strategies, end states define where the company is going, and roadmaps document how to get there from.
3) Compliance Processes ensure that development initiatives are in alignment with the strategic direction. Level 3 has created a framework that gives each development initiative an architecture rating that indicates its compliance level.
IATA Open Air: How API Standardization Enables Innovation in the Airline Indu...SmartBear
The necessity of surviving during the economic upheaval of a global pandemic is fueling innovation in the airline industry. A new age of aviation is being built on digital technology and APIs to improve data sharing, reduce costs, and optimize revenue for carriers.
API standards are the key to the success of any digital initiative, enabling interoperability between independent parties. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the industry trade association responsible for developing the global standards for airlines, are utilizing SwaggerHub, the API design and documentation platform, to help bring these best practices to life.
In this webinar session, we explore:
How IATA’s Open Air initiative allows the industry to open up its digital capabilities for innovation
Open Air standard as the common technical approach to describing API definitions
Best practices for scaling API design and standardization across the industry
A live API design demonstration with SwaggerHub and IATA

The digital revolution comes to Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)PMI-Montréal
A commercial transport aircraft has been described as a million parts flying in close formation. Maintaining detailed records on all of these parts and components is both a regulatory and a “good business” requirement-- a massive, hugely paper-intensive activity
Now however, the digital revolution offers the opportunity to transform maintenance by removing paper in favor of electronic record-keeping. The ultimate goal is to simplify maintenance operations using paperless technologies, thereby facilitating regulatory compliance and enabling new processes that will drive down costs.
Join us for a special breakfast meeting on Tuesday 12 May at IATA’s offices for a presentation by IATA Senior Vice President, Safety and Flight Operations, Capt. Kevin Hiatt, and the project lead, Dr. Chris Markou, as they provide first-hand insights into how this immense project will impact the future of aviation.
Speakers
In February 2014, Kevin Hiatt joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as Senior Vice President of Safety and Flight operations. In that position, he is responsible for five divisions and over 100 team members providing safety, operational, audit, quality, air traffic, and data support and information.
Kevin joins IATA from the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) where he was appointed President and CEO in 2013, having joined FSF in 2010 as Executive Vice President. Kevin previously served as Vice President for Corporate Safety and Security for World Airways, and was with Delta Air Lines for 26 years in various positions, including Chief Pilot at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Pilot Crew Base from 2002 to late 2005.
Chris Markou is working on Airline Operations Cost Management and Efficiency Improvement, exploring various cost reduction opportunities, efficiencies and synergies between the different airline functions. Chris has initiated the “Paperless Aircraft Operations” industry Think Tank to innovate the Airline Maintenance Operations through acceptance of new technologies and electronic acceptance of current paper functions. He is the Secretary to IATA’s Maintenance Cost Task Force (MCTF), the Airline Cost Management Group (ACMG) and the Aircraft Leasing Advisory Group (ALAG).
Before joining IATA, Chris worked at Delta Air Lines in the Technical Operations (TechOps) Division. He developed the strategic framework in expanding TechOps into one of the leading airline MROs. Throughout his tenure at Delta he held various positions including Manager for Business Development and General Manager for Technical Sales – Marketing – Customer Service.
