Aerospace & Defence
In a sector where safety and traceability are non-negotiable, AI becomes a decisive industrial advantage.
Aerospace and defence operate under the most demanding constraints there are: certification, full traceability, long production cycles and zero tolerance on safety. Artificial Intelligence does not replace domain expertise here — it amplifies it, by making maintenance more reliable, speeding up inspection and securing the documentation chain. Cardan-AI works in these environments where every decision commits lives and strategic assets.
Challenges that cost you dearly
Aircraft-on-ground & downtime costs
A grounded aircraft (AOG) costs tens of thousands of euros per hour. Unplanned maintenance disrupts fleets and flight plans.
Inspection of critical parts
Detecting micro-defects on composite or metal parts pushes the limits of the human eye, with an absolute safety stake.
Documentation load & certification
Every part and operation generates heavy regulatory traceability. Documentary search and compliance mobilise considerable resources.
Data sovereignty & confidentiality
Defence and aerospace data cannot transit through unmastered public clouds. Sovereignty is a requirement, not an option.
AI transformation levers
Aerospace predictive maintenance
Anticipate wear on critical components from sensor and operational data. Reduce AOG events and optimise overhaul cycles.
AI visual inspection
Detect cracks, corrosion and composite defects in real time, with reproducibility and traceability beyond manual inspection.
Documentation & compliance automation
Automatic extraction, classification and verification of certification and airworthiness records, with full audit trails.
Sovereign & on-premise AI
Deploy AI models on your controlled infrastructure, with no exposure of sensitive data to third parties.
Supply chain & MRO optimisation
Anticipate spare-part needs, secure long lead times and cut costly dormant stock.
Operational decision support
Fuse heterogeneous sources to support planning, logistics and decisions in constrained environments.
