How Aerotrax turns removal history into parts forecasts
From raw task card data to a ranked weekly demand report. The full forecasting pipeline, explained.
Data Ingestion
Removal-Log Ingestion
Aerotrax parses task card records, unscheduled removal entries, and reason-for-removal codes from your existing maintenance records system. The ingestion layer handles messy real-world data with missing fields, inconsistent date formats, and mixed part number conventions. No data-cleaning project required before you start.
Wear Modeling
Component Wear Modeling
The model builds degradation curves per component type and fleet variant, calibrated to your specific aircraft utilization pattern. Tail-to-tail variation in removal rates is a first-class input, not an averaging artifact. A high-utilization tail on a regional route degrades differently than a low-cycle tail doing long haul.
| Part | 30d | 60d | 90d | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LDG-STRUT-B737 | 2 | 5 | 9 | HIGH |
| APU-AIR-FLTR | 4 | 7 | 14 | MED |
| BRAKE-ASSY-MLG | 1 | 3 | 6 | MED |
| HYD-PUMP-EDP | 0 | 1 | 3 | LOW |
Demand Forecast
Demand Forecast Engine
The engine produces 30/60/90-day point-estimate demand with confidence bands, ranked by criticality and current stock-depth. Output is a ranked demand report by part number and tail registration. A ranked list a planner can act on before the Thursday purchase order cutoff, not a dashboard that requires interpretation.
Risk Scoring
AOG Risk Scoring
Aerotrax assigns risk weights based on single-source supply vulnerability, lead-time volatility, and historical AOG frequency for each part class. Parts that can ground an aircraft on a 2-day vendor lead time surface above parts with deep spot-market availability. Not all shortages have equal operational consequences.
