“We are very pleased to bring our cooperation with MTU Maintenance to the
next level,” said Dominique Maurille, Key Account Director, OEM Solutions at
Teledyne Controls. “Today, over 14,000 aircraft, including approximately
6,500 A320 family aircraft, automatically download valuable full series
flight data using the Teledyne GroundLink® Comm+ system. Teledyne DDS will
enable MTU to quickly establish automatic flows of redacted subsets of this
data, directly from the aircraft to their data analytics platforms, allowing
them to build value-added applications and services, driving revenues and
maintenance cost optimization. At the same time, MTU Maintenance customers
retain full control over the sharing of their data through DDS, and, in
collaboration with MTU, they will benefit from increased engine performance
and efficiency.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Teledyne to enhance our digital
capabilities and deliver even greater value to our airline customers,” said
Christian Keller, responsible for engine trend monitoring at MTU Maintenance.
“This partnership supports our commitment to innovation and sustainability by
enabling smarter, data-driven maintenance strategies that improve engine availability,
better fleet planning and reduce lifecycle costs for our customers.”
Teledyne’sData Distribution Solutions (DDS) enables aircraft operators to
securely share selected flight data with specific groups of data consumers,
such as third-party users, like engine manufacturers, aircraft sub-systems
vendors, and other OEM third parties, and stakeholders within an airline.
Airlines retain full control over the distribution of their data, which is
redacted and decoded locally, and can select which parameters they agree to
share, by tail number, data consumer, data frame file format, etc. DDS
supports all aircraft types and converts flight data to user-preferred
formats, regardless of the aircraft's recording hardware or data retrieval
methods.
Teledyne’s Data Distribution Solution is a fully managed cloud service that
enables airlines to benefit from OEM efficiencies and optimization, without
having to invest in the infrastructure or expertise needed to manage the
solution themselves.
Teledyne’s GroundLink® Comm+ is a versatile wireless communication system
that facilitates and accelerates data exchange between airborne systems and
ground-based equipment. In addition to its automated flight data download
core function, the system supports multiple applications across an airline's
operations, such as wireless distribution of software parts and databases,
real‑time data streaming, cabin/crew connectivity, ACARS over IP, and
more.
