Technical Data as a ServiceBridging the Gap Between an Aerospace Leader & Suppliers
A Fortune 100 aerospace manufacturer is leveraging viax.io as the process engine for their Technical Data as a Service (TDaaS) needs. With this partnership, the company is now able to create a technical data package (TDP) that can be accessed throughout the product lifecycle and supply chain. The solution provides a secure and efficient way to share technical data with Tier 1,2 and 3 suppliers, thus enhancing transparency and collaboration between all parties. This approach enables the company to meet suppliers where they are and take the necessary steps to drive innovation and growth.
The Business Challenge
As a leading aircraft manufacturer, the company is currently facing the challenge of streamlining and standardizing multiple systems and databases. This is necessary to ensure efficient data exchange and supplier collaboration, including the adoption of new, on-demand TDP procurement and acquisition strategies. Despite the complexity of this task, the company is committed to modernizing supplier collaboration and finding innovative solutions to enhance operations.
The Solution
To solve for this, the manufacturer came to Software AG and viax to meet their needs for a powerful, scalable, and secure solution. viax’s Product 360 Process Template was specifically designed to handle the challenges manufacturers face in managing data across channels, suppliers, and lifecycles of their products and parts. It was also built around the concept of serialized assets that often need to be tracked at a fleet level and maintained against set parameters that may be fed from outside sources (such as IoT data). The viax Process Engine delivers the necessary collaboration, data management, workflows, and security tools to meet their needs.
