MES is the Key step to implement paperless instructions in the shop , making the link between PLM and operators to dispatch contextualized digitalized instructions and to collect as-built informations . Gateway from machines and shop operations to collect data such as quality report to gather industrial database for further analysis
Deployment of MES Shopvue solution for 10 sites worldwide
Alignment and improvement of inspection process to ensure full digital continuity from PLM/MEDS to shopfloor with record of control results against product and process characteristics
Integration of Augmented Reality assistance in the MES operations (DIOTA with Shopvue )
MES implementation
MCS ( Manufacturing Control System )
Management of the global MCS project for SAFRAN Landing Systems with SIEMENS WINCC solutions :
800 assets to be connected in the 16 sites worldwide
Definition and test of a core model architecture in line with Safran Cybersecurity rules
Lead of deployment by sites with connectivity audits for all the kind of assets with various systems ( CNC , PLCs, DATABASE, … )
Industrial Data
Definition of the Industrial Data strategy from data collection ( MCS , IoT ) to data exploitation
Development of an hybrid solution to combine on-premise solution and Cloud based use cases ( AWS dataplatform and portal concept)
Management of data use cases road map with the 16 sites worldwide and Digital Factory for development
IoT Unified Geolocation project
Definition of an IOT Unified Geolocation strategy to address business issues around part flows complexity , in-door or out-door between sites or with customers & suppliers, paperless with MES implementation, daily scheduling performance including tools tracking
Implementation of Electronic Labels at MRO activities and testing of IoT suppliers solutions for in-door part trackings in several sites

Checking of assembly / deassembly of the retraction actuator or simulation of harnessess dynamic , while sharing with customer
Virtual Reality for nacelle production shop study
MRO goes virtual
COVID-19 pandemic has imposed international travel restrictions leading to major limitations for experts or inspectors to support customers on their site . Many airlines and MROs were adopting new digital technologies to support remotely customers or to move to paperless operations . COVID 19 has accelerated the usage of these technologies to maintain activities : Remote inspection using wearables, digital report from a drone inspection, remote NDT inspection , advanced fleet administration for maintenance and storage, virtual training and webinar.
Remote Assistance for maintenance
Mutiple use cases to develop remote assistance either internally between sites or to support customers for maintenance actions in the field
Benefits in terms of leadtime to fix a technical problem with assistance of an expert from a backoffice
A true answer to COVID situation as travels are very limited
Exemple in aerospace :
“Each time an Experts or a PSE has to provide a support to a technician on the field , either on wing or internally to support the resolution of a technical problem or any assistance to make a diagnostic , the usage of Librestream Remote Assistance solution is relevant : to speed-up resolution of an issue without asking the backoffice experts to travel , to ease the fix of an issue by implementing a "see what I see" process using standard hardware such as IPhone or Ipad , just with a couple of clics , and a powerful way to share instructions and record images or vidéos
Savings in travel costs , carbon foot print , less tiring and risky travels for employees , capacity to have several stakeholders sharing during the same session the problems in real time”
