Aerospace solutions provider GA Telesis and artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Alitheon are collaborating to integrate Alitheon's FeaturePrint optical AI technology with Wilbur, GA Telesis's Web3-enabled parts provenance and records platform.
According to Alitheon, Wilbur will generate a "revolution" in aircraft and parts authenticity while improving data security within the aviation sector.
"This collaboration will empower stakeholders to meet the highest standards for product documentation and verification set by all global regulatory bodies," Alitheon said.
The firm claims that the integration will ensure the irrefutable verification of products. It designed Wilbur and FeaturePrint to enhance traceability and identification of aircraft parts throughout the entire aircraft lifecycle.
The combined technology addresses aircraft parts already manufactured and serves as a forward-looking provenance and verification system for the transfer of assets within the supply chain.
Counterfeit and gray market goods, untraceable items, and misidentification of physical products have all recently bedeviled the industry. Using standard industrial cameras or mobile phones, FeaturePrint algorithms create unique digital fingerprints based on the minute surface details of each physical item.
Similar to human fingerprints, the digital "FeaturePrints" are inherently unique and persistent. "The technology eliminates reliance on removable tags, QR codes, data plates, labels, and paperwork, which are susceptible to damage, loss, manipulation, and fraud,” Alitheon said.
Longstanding risks in the aerospace sector were recently exposed via fraudulent events involving false paperwork and counterfeit parts entering the aviation supply chain.
"FeaturePrint was developed to establish transparency, traceability, and trust using nothing more than a photo," said Alitheon CEO Roei Ganzarski.
