The spaceports and missions of tomorrow require the convergence of the aerospace, infrastructure, communication and data science worlds. The complex interaction between regulatory environments, design constraints and design drivers will require each individual element to be designed with an understanding of the others. A deep understanding of all these environments is neither easily nor quickly gained, but it is fundamental to create a successful solution.

Our capabilities and services

Engineering Delivery PartnershipsHow can you be both lean and innovative, as well as delivering large and complex programmes profitably and sustainably?No modern enterprise has all the ‘market leading’ resources it needs inside its organisation; it makes use of the best from outside to enhance its own business.

The best organisations collaborate and innovate effectively to generate even more value for their customers, and avoid becoming obsolete and being disrupted by their competitors.

This is when conditions demand a game-changing relationship with your supply chain.

As a delivery partner we share in the risks and challenges of achieving your corporate goals and ultimate success.

We’re ready to share our recent experience and lessons setting these up in some of the most challenging engineering businesses – get in touch to find out more.

The ChallengeMore data is being collected than ever before, however its value is rarely fully realised. The exploitation of data to enable better, faster decisions is a differentiator that increasingly drives competitive advantage across all markets and sectors.

Within the field of complex asset design and manufacture, identifying and deriving high value information from data can:

› Drive operational efficiencies and lower costs

› Increase quality

› Improve safety

› Generate new revenue streams

Enabling more informed decision making though data analytics and visualisation can transform a business from being reactive, to proactively anticipating issues and optimising operations. At Atkins we support customers to move from being data rich and information poor towards insight driven decisions at all levels.

Our digital solutions and services for complex assets blend our expertise in digital transformation with our deep understanding, experience and heritage in traditional engineering.

Data and information are not the same: processing data in order that it can truly inform is both a science and an art.

The ChallengeWith more planes in operation and flying more often and turn-around times reducing, the chance of an aircraft being damaged during a flight is higher. In addition, as fleet sizes increase, it becomes more challenging to keep track of damage and repairs, thereby increasing the workload for engineers and technicians. One way to help deliver great passenger experiences and minimise ‘Aircraft on Ground’ situations is to streamline the process for assessing aircraft damage.

Today, if an aircraft has been damaged during flight it can take up to several hours to assess the damage. This process is typically carried out using manual measurements and a paper-based system to log and report the damage. Communication between staff is ad-hoc and the whole process is inefficient.

As a result, it can be time consuming and create inconsistencies across the globe. This can make it challenging to create a global damage report database that can be shared, analysed and understood in different locations.

These time delays can be costly for airline and aircraft operators. A lengthy assessment process can lead to flight delays which can significantly impact passenger experiences and could lead to significant delay compensation claims. This could cost the operator millions per year, coupled with brand damage that could have a lasting long-term impact on the bottom line.

Digital Tools

In the modern world, where demands for air travel are increasing, and passengers’ experience is key to strengthening brand position and long term revenues, it is vital for airline and aircraft operators to minimise aircraft downtime.
