关于客户
LuxairGroup is a key economic player and the main aviation company in Luxembourg and its surrounding region. With 2,900 employees, the company provides a range of services in the aviation sector. In a market dominated by massive global alliances and low-cost airlines, LuxairGroup needed to stand out by driving innovative experiences through technology. However, the company's complex IT environment was already supporting 1,500 users with 120 applications that were mainly connected with tightly coupled, point-to-point integrations. This made it difficult to connect new systems, replace old applications, and pursue innovation.
挑战
LuxairGroup, a key aviation company in Luxembourg, was facing stiff competition in a market dominated by global alliances and low-cost airlines. The company needed to differentiate itself by driving innovative experiences through technology. However, LuxairGroup’s complex IT environment was already supporting 1,500 users with 120 applications that were mainly connected with tightly coupled, point-to-point integrations. This made it difficult to connect new systems, replace old applications, and pursue innovation. The result was high maintenance costs, specifically due to IT’s limited visibility into the application landscape, application interfaces, and security standards. To address these business challenges, IT needed to establish a higher level of control and security when connecting to third-party applications, get a holistic view of existing integrations, and increase the speed of delivery for innovative projects.
解决方案
The team at LuxairGroup decided to move away from point-to-point integration and implement API-led connectivity, an integration approach that unleashes data and applications through reusable APIs. LuxairGroup's partner - Cap4Lab-selected MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform because it's a unified solution covering both integration and API management needs. The first project developed on Anypoint Platform aimed to improve integration to the online self-booking platform Amadeus. The LuxairGroup team built a complete integration to the backend service layer of Amadeus, which powered all of LuxairGroup's product-service system (PSS) solutions. They then built an integration to connect to EFB, the group's flight management system. LuxairGroup also built APIs to expose data from legacy systems, such as SAP and Oracle, and make them available for reuse across the organization.

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
Case Study
Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
Case Study
Developing Smart Tools for the Airbus Factory
Manufacturing and assembly of aircraft, which involves tens of thousands of steps that must be followed by the operators, and a single mistake in the process could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, makes the room for error very small.
Case Study
Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
