ChronicX helps airlines and MROs improve the health of their fleets. Providing an innovative approach for detecting and managing recurring defects, the ChronicX solution identifies, consolidates, and ranks recurring and potential chronic defects across aircraft fleets, regardless of the aircraft.
Currently in use on 25% of the world’s commercial airline fleet, the ChronicX solution uncovers hidden trends such as recurring and previously undetected defects, at both the tail number and fleet-level. It even detects emerging failure modes that have the potential but have yet to reach critical status. Additionally, custom alerts enable maintenance specialists and reliability engineers to respond to alerts with greater speed and accuracy.
Improved Accuracy
ChronicX can find more valid recurring defects in your maintenance data by using a proprietary text-mining engine and machine learning. It improves the quality and accuracy of overall data by up to 80%, and reveals the hidden defects often missed by traditional analysis.
Real-Time Insights
Maintenance teams can determine the frequency in which they would like new chronic defects to be presented, even hourly if needed. With real-time insights, technicians are prepared to complete a fix during the turn of an aircraft, avoiding costly delays.
Faster Detection
ChronicX saves you time and money through faster detection of valid recurring defects. Using sophisticated computer algorithms, ChronicX can help you identify these issues in minutes, as opposed to hours or days.
Do More with Your Data
Maintenance teams can gain more insights from data when troubleshooting, with a suite of intuitive dashboards and reporting tools designed to bring them greater clarity into the true performance and safety of an aircraft.
Improved Fleet Health
ChronicX quickly and accurately identifies recurring or chronic defects regardless of the aircraft, providing valuable insights into fleet-wide health. It includes management tools to help lower unscheduled part-removal rates by up to 20%.
Customer Testimonials
[ChronicX] found a tremendous amount more repetitive items than we knew even existed. We were able to fix these items at a quicker pace and they never escalated into major operational problems in the aircraft.
We found ChronicX identified 26% more valid chronics
With ChronicX, ATA miscoding is no longer an issue with the word search and data mining. We can now find chronics trends that span across 3 or 4 different ATAs.
Now my maintenance specialist can do in five minutes what they used to do in four hours.
Key Features
Auto-Tagging
With auto-tagging, ChronicX can take any data source and map it to the defects reported from a specific aircraft or fleet. Then, it can add tags to help filter and organize them. Tags can be added from any data source – including flight schedules, hanger records, weather reports, and more. These helpful tags can be added from any data source.
Defect Auto Clustering & Linking
ChronicX groups common data and analyzes the defect problem description, scores them to validate, and links the aircraft where multiple issues are present. Using text mining and machine learning, ChronicX creates clusters of repeat defects to help technicians in defining their action plan and increase their First-Time-Fix rate.
Customized Dictionary
Custom Alerts & Notifications
ChronicX allows users to configure custom alerts and notifications within the system, or as email-based alerts, if a defect matching a set of parameters is raised. This allows maintenance personnel to be immediately notified of any issues, determine the right fix, and prepare to repair the issue to avoiding delays and/or cancellations.
Dashboards
Powerful and customizable dashboards allow you to view the current status as well as any trends on an individual aircraft, or an entire fleet. ChronicX dashboards can share insights across various parameters including scheduling impacts, allowing you to quickly assess the health of your fleet in real-time.
Reporting Tools
ChronicX comes with a robust set of reporting tools, allowing you to do more with your aircraft data. Issues and chronic defects can be filtered and sorted by a variety of criteria, including tail number, part, code, flight, and more. With ChronicX, you can dig even deeper into your fleet data to grain valuable insights.
ChronicX is a powerful analytics tool that greatly enhances performance by improving the accuracy and speed by which defects, and repetitive issues are detected. Further, it supports existing daily processes by saving time, enhancing workflows, and improving overall fleet health and reliability.
