All Nippon Airways (ANA) has become the launch customer for Boeing’s Insight Accelerator (IA), a new cloud-based digital solution employing artificial intelligence (AI) to improve operational efficiency and avoid high impact service disruptions.
Manubu Tono, All Nippon Airways manager of Planning & Administration, Engineering, said: “There are many products on the market for flight data analytics but Insight Accelerator is the most effective tool for our aircraft operation. It’s very innovative, and meets our primary goal of leveraging features in flight data that indicate a system failure before it happens.”
Duane Wehking, vice president of Digital Aviation Solutions at Boeing Global Services said: “IA’s built-in artificial intelligence, guided exploration and powerful visualizations allow airlines to investigate flight and maintenance data, identify trends and discover insights all without specialized coding or programming skills. This is an easy-to-use solution that will provide value to airlines from day one.”
According to Boeing, IA uses out-of-the-box algorithms to sort and detect anomalies and create alerts to enable airlines to take proactive maintenance and repair action and prevent unscheduled delays.
