  • Patent number: 10318903
    Abstract: A method of providing a first set of computer systems with access to a recommendation pertaining to operation of one or more assets based on the one or more assets being in revenue service or in repair is disclosed. Operations data and inspection data is collected at the first set of computer systems. The operations data and inspection data pertains to operating asset states of one or more fleets of aircraft over a time period. The operations data and the inspection data is stored in one or more databases of a second set of computer systems. Assumptions of control input values are derived for use by the first set of computer systems based on the operations data and the inspection data. A financial objective and constraints analysis is performed with a simulation system for one or more assets of the one or more fleets of aircraft. The cost savings analysis includes identifying a modification of at least one of a set of the control input values.

  • Patent number: 10318904
    Abstract: A method of generating a recommendation of terms of an aircraft services contract is disclosed. Operations data pertaining to a planned usage of each aircraft of a fleet of aircraft is received. The operations data pertains to the fleet of aircraft for which an aircraft services customer seeks to enter into a services contract with an aircraft services provider. The operations data includes flight schedule data and flight policy data specific to each of the aircraft. Historical data pertaining to actual usage of other fleets of aircraft with respect to the flight schedule data and the flight policy data is analyzed. The analyzing includes generating an estimation of a risk associated with the services contract from the perspective of the aircraft services provider. An acceptable price for the services contract is generated such that the risk is mitigated from the perspective of the services provider. The terms pertaining to the service contract are communicated for presentation in a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20170323239
    Abstract: A method of providing a first set of computer systems with access to a recommendation pertaining to operation of one aircraft in one or more fleets of aircraft is disclosed. Operations data is collected at the first set of computer systems. The operations data pertains to operations of the one or more fleets of aircraft over a time period. The operations data is stored in one or more databases of a second set of computer systems. The operations data includes values corresponding to fields in the one or more databases. The fields represent at least one of policy data pertaining to one or more operations policies, flight schedule data pertaining to one or more flight schedules, and operating cost data pertaining to operating costs associated with the one or more fleets of aircraft. Assumptions of control input values are derived for use by the first set of computer systems based on the operations data.

  • Publication number: 20170323240
    Abstract: A method of presenting a recommendation in a user interface for use in optimization operation of industrial assets. Digital twins are generated for a set of industrial assets. The digital twins include data structures representing estimated states of each of a plurality of subsystems of the set of industrial assets over a time period based on an application of simulations using cumulative damage models. The cumulative damage models modeling the effects of exogenous factors on the operation of the set of industrial assets over the time period. Based on an uncertainty level of at least one of the estimated states transgressing an uncertainty threshold, directed actual state data is requested from an inspection system deployed in a field of at least one of the industrial assets. Based on a receiving of the actual state data, the data structures are updated to include the actual state data. The uncertainty level of the estimated states of each of the plurality of subsystems is also updated.
