MIAMI, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --Trax, a leading global provider of paperless aviation maintenance and engineering software products, and Rolls-Royce, a global leader in aerospace and defense technology, announced today the launch of a seamless interface between Trax's eMRO application and Rolls-Royce's Blue Data Thread platform. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in the integration of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations with real-time data analytics, enhancing efficiency and reliability for airlines worldwide.
Revolutionizing aircraft and engine maintenance
The new interface connects Trax's eMRO, a comprehensive, device-agnostic application designed to manage every aspect of aircraft maintenance and fleet management, with Rolls-Royce's Blue Data Thread, an open industry solution that enables a truly connected ecosystem for airlines, MROs, and OEMs. This integration allows for the real-time exchange of critical data, optimizing maintenance schedules, improving asset utilization, and reducing operational disruptions.
Enhancing data connectivity
By leveraging the Blue Data Thread, the interface provides a continuous flow of engine focused data between maintenance systems. This connectivity ensures that maintenance teams have access to up-to-date information on engine configuration and maintenance needs, enabling predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime. The integration also supports the digital twin capabilities of Rolls-Royce's IntelligentEngine platform, allowing for more accurate simulations and maintenance forecasting to sustain longer engine on-wing performance and reduce shop visit frequency.
A collaborative effort
"We are thrilled to team with Rolls-Royce to bring this innovative solution to the aviation industry," said Miguel Sosa, Trax's Vice President of Product Innovation and Head of Trax's Innovation Hub. "The integration of eMRO with the Blue Data Thread represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide cutting-edge technology that enhances the efficiency and reliability of aircraft maintenance operations. This integration will be available to all operators of the Trent 1000, Trent 7000, and Trent XWB family of engines as an 'out of the box' solution in 2025 at no additional cost."
"This collaboration with Trax exemplifies our commitment to leveraging digital technology to improve business outcomes for customers," said Richard Swallow, Rolls-Royce's Head of Data Services for Civil Aerospace. "The Blue Data Thread is a key component of our vision for digitally enabled services, and our new interface with Trax will help airlines maximize their operational efficiency."
