Data Analysis and Consolidation for Aircraft Parts Manufacturing

Avcorp Industries provides the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers with supply chain solutions and repair support. Yield optimization, predictive maintenance, and equipment calibration are needs that are widespread throughout the manufacturing industry. The root cause of failures in product testing is often difficult to determine particularly when the failure signals are sparse relative to the available background data. Compounding the problem, the process must meet a variety of specifications for multiple customers simultaneously. This project aims to create a digital twin of the metal finishing line to leverage predictive analytics to analyze data (chemical, temperature, voltage) captured from the process line and provide new insights for an optimized manufacturing process. Leveraging the research capabilities in data analytics at Simon Fraser University, and partnership with D-Wave and SolidStateAI, Avcorp will move manufacturing fault detection processes from reactive to predictive-based.
