Korean Air selects Boeing Insight Accelerator to strengthen predictive maintenance for B787 fleet

Korean Air selects Boeing Insight Accelerator to strengthen predictive maintenance for B787 fleet.
Furthermore, Insight Accelerator seamlessly integrates with Boeing's Airplane Health Management solution, which is already in use by Korean Air.

The Korean Air and Boeing collaboration will involve interpreting QAR/CPL full flight data to identify patterns related to part degradation or failure for the B787 fleet.

Korean Air is set to enhance its fleet maintenance operations by deploying Boeing’s Insight Accelerator solution for its entire 787 fleet. This partnership between Boeing and Korean Air aims to leverage advanced analytics to improve predictive maintenance for the airline’s aircraft. The collaboration will involve interpreting Quick Access Recorder/Continuous Parameter Logging (QAR/CPL) full flight data to identify patterns related to part degradation or failure. Boeing’s Insight Accelerator solution employs powerful machine learning capabilities to make more informed decisions regarding fleet maintenance.

Korean Air has demonstrated its commitment to continuous improvement in fleet maintenance operations by establishing a Predictive Maintenance Team within its Engineering division. This dedicated team will work closely with Boeing to harness the capabilities of Insight Accelerator for more efficient maintenance practices.

“Our team recognized the capabilities of Boeing’s Insight Accelerator to provide augmented analytics capabilities and statistical analysis, along with the ability to customize alerting unique to our operation,” said Jonghoon OH, General Manager – Predictive Maintenance Team, Korean Air. “We look forward to working with the Boeing team to apply this tool to help us minimize unscheduled maintenance events, as we increase our efforts to greatly improve efficiency in our maintenance operations,” he further added.

By transforming unscheduled maintenance into planned maintenance, Korean Air can significantly improve operational efficiency, reduce disruptions, and extend the service life of its aircraft. This proactive approach ensures more timely flights and enhanced overall performance.

Insight Accelerator is a groundbreaking solution that allows users to create custom alerts without the need for programming or coding experience. Its user-friendly interface empowers Korean Air to develop effective algorithms for prognostic insights, ultimately saving time and resources by preventing unwanted maintenance-related disruptions.

Furthermore, Insight Accelerator seamlessly integrates with Boeing’s Airplane Health Management solution, which is already in use by Korean Air. This integration provides a comprehensive platform for monitoring alerts, streamlining the airline’s maintenance processes.

Korean Air’s adoption of Boeing’s Insight Accelerator highlights the airline’s commitment to staying at the forefront of predictive maintenance technology. By harnessing advanced analytics and machine learning, Korean Air aims to elevate its fleet maintenance operations, ensuring a smoother and more efficient flying experience for passengers.
