will continue to get better as the platform handles more aircraft data with more customers and users coming onboard,” the spokesperson notes. The MRO started developing Component Health Management in 2019, and its development remains an ongoing, iterative process. “We have two other new customers who have signed up for our on-wing component health and reliability management program with predictive capability,” explains an ST Engineering spokesperson.
The new contract with JAL and Zipair is among the first applications of Component Health Management. ST Engineering already had an MBH contract to support components on the airline’s 737-800s. The new service, called Component Health Management, was launched in a five-year maintenance-by the-hour (MBH) contract, starting in September 2021, to provide integrated component support for all Boeing 787s belonging to Japan Airlines (JAL) and its low-cost subsidiary, Zipair Tokyo.
ST Engineering has now joined providers like Lufthansa Technik and AFI-KLM E&M in offering a service that detects anomalies in component performance and predicts remaining useful life to aid maintenance decisions. For global, full-service MROs, predictive maintenance tools have become almost table stakes for securing major contracts.
