Airbus Helicopter optimizes equipment testing with AVEVA System Platform

Airbus Helicopters chooses AVEVA to innovate flight testing

Since 1992, Airbus Helicopters has been a benchmark in the aerospace industry, with over 12,000 helicopters in service across 150 countries. Based in the south of France, the company develops aircraft for military, civil, emergency, and private use.

Due to strict safety standards and high operating costs, every component—especially transmission systems—is subjected to rigorous testing. To ensure efficiency and precision in managing test benches, Airbus Helicopters selected AVEVA’s digital platform, further strengthening its position as a global leader.

Goals

  • To create multipurpose and reliable test beds for increased testing capacity.
  • To reduce development and maintenance costs of testing procedures.
  • Replacing the existing system with a single, easy-to-use solution for supervising test beds and logistics.
  • Creating a system that can interface seamlessly with additional testing installations.

Solutions

  •  AVEVA System Platform
  • AVEVA InTouch HMI
  • AVEVA Historian
  •  AVEVA Historian Client

Results

  • Testing development time was cut in half, from 600 to 800 hours to 300 to 400 hours, and will continue to decrease as the system evolves.
  • 40% efficiency gains from reusable visualizations and eliminating the need for scripting.
