Challenges
- Data Fragmentation: The logistics provider faced data that was fragmented
from multiple sources, which included airlines, suppliers, and airports. These
fragmented sources made it extremely difficult for them to have a unified view of
inventory levels and also look at supply chain operations as an integrated unit. - Inventory position updates: These updates could not be provided in real-time
within the existing system due to these constraints, so decisions were delayed
and inefficient. - Scalability: As there was an increase in new international routes, the client
needed a system which is scalable enough to grow with operations. - The logistics data: This data is sensitive, considering that it has aircraft parts
and fuel levels. This demanded the need for a secure data management
platform. - Inefficient data processing: The logistics system processes millions of data
points every day, but the system lacks analytical capabilities to analyze them and
result in actionable insights.
Solutions
- End-to-end data integration using .NET and C#: Adorebits developed a robust
backend system using .NET and C#, thereby allowing seamless interface data to
integrate from different sources into one unified platform. - Big Data Analytics Spark, and SQL: Adorebits used frameworks of Spark and
Big Data to process and manage millions of data in real time. SQL databases
were optimized for quick access to information such that inventory levels,
shipments, and aircraft logistics are updated in real time. - Utilizing Blockchain for Data Security: Blockchain technology was used to
ensure tamper-proof transactions and also to protect the data. The critical data
about the parts, shipments, and fuel levels were kept safe. - Deployed Scalable Cloud Infrastructure on AWS: Adorebits deployed the
system on AWS for high availability and scalability. - Front-End Development with Angular.js: The user interface developed using
Angular.js is responsive and intuitive so that logistics managers and ground staff
could easily access real-time updates on shipments and inventory management
across locations in every corner of the globe.
Results:
- Real-Time Inventory Management: Updating of the stock level occurred in real-time; further delays were reduced to 30% improvements in the accuracy of supply chain decisions.
- Better Operational Efficiency: Since all logistics data were then available on one system, the client made its supply chain more transparent and managed it through key decisions.
- Better Scalability: Since AWS’s cloud-based infrastructure supports the scalability of the system, this was used to expand the airline into new international markets.
- Big Data plus Predictive Analytics: This helped the client predict their maintenance needs. Aircraft parts and fuel came in hand in advance of necessity, reducing delays and increasing aircraft uptime by 15%.
- Reduced Costs of Data Handling: Spark, SQL, and Big Data integration made it easier for the system to handle huge volumes of data.
Conclusion:
Adorebits’ Aviation Logistics & Supply Chain Management System therefore helped the client with optimal logistics management, better inventory control, and enhancement in the nature of decisions being made that put the client ahead of others within the aviation logistics group.
