Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC): Powering through time and resource constraints<\/span><\/h1>\n

Certified on-time by helping client meet aircraft OEM mandated schedule<\/h2>\n

The Problem<\/h3>\n

A major control systems supplier was in an urgent bind: they had a pressing deadline for a FADEC software update for a regional airplane certification. Complicating the situation, the systems supplier was constrained by test environment resources for system verification, software development and testing. Although adding test equipment was an option, the systems supplier did not want to absorb the exorbitant cost of an additional test rig. Well-aware of Performance Software\u2019s problem-solving abilities through previous collaborations, the supplier contracted Performance Software to immediately find a way to meet the aggressive schedule with a cost-effective solution.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676555431432{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”]\n

The Solution<\/h3>\n

Performance Software immediately put in place an innovative test environment to access the customer\u2019s test rig across globally-distributed engineering sites.\u00a0 Within 2 weeks, Performance Software structured a configuration management process to allocate and segregate work between the US and global teams, completed the project plan, and launched a multi-site, collaborative team to pull in the customer\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n

Performance Software maximized lab usage as the US and global engineers capitalized on the time zone advantage by working around the clock. Having delivered earlier than the aircraft manufacturer\u2019s mandated schedule and minimizing the customer\u2019s costs, Performance Software quickly became the clients go-to-supplier and subsequently was awarded an additional development program.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676555436743{padding-right: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”]\n
