The TATEM technical construct

In the scope of the TATEM project (Technologies And Techniques for nEw Maintenance concepts) for the 6^th European Community Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration on aeronautics and air transport, Aircraft maintenance actors were to cooperate to define improved maintenance processes taking advantage of new technologies. To do so, a global information system simulator called a data management platform (DMP) has been developed as a backbone for the new technologies and techniques investigated by the project. Granting access to state of the art on-board and on-ground IT capabilities opens new possibilities of data transformation and presentation, such as adopting the ISO 13374 based open system architecture for condition based maintenance (OSA- CBM) standard, as well as opportunities to share maintenance data on standardised formats which in turn opens the door to collaborative maintenance.
