Avathon Autonomy
for Aerospace Operations
Avathon’s Autonomy Platform uses AI to turn aerospace complexity into operational advantage — connecting manufacturing, maintenance, and supply chain data to solve resource constraints, quality challenges, and parts availability across production and in-service fleets.
Industry Under Stress
As global demand climbs, aerospace manufacturers and operators face mounting pressures: diminishing suppliers, persistent parts shortages, complex certification requirements, and an aging workforce. Supply disruptions, long lead times, and technician retirements threaten delivery schedules and maintenance turnaround. Meanwhile, the drive for higher performance and sustainability demands not just better insights, but a strategic step function forward to autonomy for operations.
These forces don’t just stress operations, they demand a new paradigm of autonomy that reasons across maintenance, supply, manufacturing, and field operations in real time.
$11B
Additional costs airlines will face in 2025 due to supply chain disruptions across aircraft production, engines, and parts.
700K+
New maintenance technicians needed globally by 2043, with the U.S. already facing a projected shortage of 48,000 by 2027.
DMSMS Endemic
Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages now threaten the continuity of aerospace parts supply chains.
30 yrs vs 5–10
Aerospace systems outlast their components, creating constant churn in parts maintenance and replacement cycles.
Autonomy for Every Stage of Operations
Avathon’s Autonomy Platform unifies data from the factory floor to the flight line, turning disconnected systems into coordinated, AI-driven action. By linking asset health, supply chain signals, and workforce capacity with industrial AI, aerospace organizations can detect issues earlier, prescribe precise solutions, and sustain readiness at scale.
Build
Identify and qualify part alternatives through intelligent clustering—proactively strengthening the manufacturing base. Reduce disruptions and ensure material availability across production and logistics chains efficiently and compliantly.
Maintain
Predict failures, prescribe maintenance actions, and orchestrate technicians, parts, and schedules to minimize downtime and streamline repair networks.
Sustain
Extend the life of aircraft and equipment through proactive obsolescence management and continuous asset and supply chain monitoring—down to the tail-number Bill of Material (BOM).
Avathon Autonomy in Action
Avathon Autonomy empowers manufacturers, operators, and MROs to anticipate problems before they occur, and resolve them with speed, safety, and precision.
Autonomous Supply & Quality
- Forecast demand
- Assess supplier capacity
- Detect anomalies in part quality or delivery
- Continuously monitor material provenance, supplier performance, and geopolitical or tariff impacts to prevent costly disruptions
Prescriptive Maintenance
- Plan and optimize spare parts and consumables, people, and supporting logistics with agility for rapid responses to disruptions.
- Identify degradation before failures occur.
- Pinpoint root causes.
- Generate recommended repair actions based on technician skill, operating schedule, parts availability, and economics.
Workforce Augmentation
- Bridge the technician gap with AI-guided diagnostics, create your contextual digital twin of operations, and provision real-time documentation to crews.
- Capture and codify institutional knowledge from retiring experts to accelerate the learning curve to productivity with quality assurance for new team members.
Logistics and Fleet Planning
- Optimize logistics and fleet planned schedules.
- Optimize rapid response to unplanned maintenance with parts availability and fleet/schedule optimization.
Built for Safety, Compliance, and Trust
- Every diagnostic, forecast, and prescription in the Autonomy Platform is fully explainable and traceable.
- Avathon’s transparent audit trail supports aerospace compliance standards — including AS9100, DO-178C, and FAA/EASA maintenance requirements — giving engineers and regulators confidence in every automated decision.
Network Repair
- Rapidly recover from AOG events by coordinating parts, people, and repair actions across the network.
- Autonomous agents evaluate options such as cannibalization, local inventory pulls, or supplier expedites.
- Restore aircraft to service quickly while minimizing operational disruption.
