Most have experienced the frustration and disappointment of a flight delay or cancelation due to aircraft issues. The Collins Aerospace business unit at Raytheon Technologies is committed to redefining aerospace by using data to deliver a more reliable, sustainable, efficient, and enjoyable aviation industry.
Ascentia is a product example of this with focus on helping airlines make smarter and more sustainable decisions by anticipating aircraft maintenance issues in advance, leading to more reliable flight schedules and fewer delays. Over the past five years a variety of products from the Databricks technology suite were employed to achieve this. Leveraging cloud infrastructure and harnessing the Databricks Lakehouse, Apache Spark™ development, and Databricks’ dynamic platform, Collins has been able to accelerate development and deployment of predictive health monitoring (PHM) analytics to generate Ascentia’s aircraft maintenance recommendations.
