Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has joined the Airbus Skywise Partner Programme, in an effort to support the digital transformation of aircraft operators.
The India-based IT services and solutions giant aims to leverage Skywise to support the use of advanced predictive analytics to reduce unplanned maintenance and improve aircraft availability.
TCS will also deploy its digital twin models to simulate operational scenarios and anticipate component failures, as well as optimisation algorithms, including quantum-inspired approaches, to improve turnaround scheduling, fleet utilisation, and logistics.
Newly developed AI-powered operational dashboards will aim to support faster, data-driven decisions by MRO and flight operations teams.
“Our expertise on the Skywise platform empowers airlines with data-driven capabilities to unlock significant levels of operational efficiency,” said Anupam Singhal, president of manufacturing at TCS.
“We are building a resilient and interconnected aerospace ecosystem, paving the way for future-ready skies that are smarter.”
The Skywise Partner Programme is a community of organisations certified to deliver advanced analytics solutions that address key challenges across the aviation sector.
The programme, which began in 2018, allows partners to leverage the Skywise digital platform to optimise operations and ensure data continuity across the aviation ecosystem.
By combining in-flight, engineering, and operational data in an analytic-rich environment, Skywise provides airlines with a purpose-built data platform to address operational challenges.
