    Why traceability matters now

    Why the Aviation Aftermarket Needs Back-to-Birth Traceability

    Airlines, MROs and lessors are turning to used serviceable material (USM) to secure parts availability, work around OEM supply delays and keep aircraft flying. Every used part carries its operational history with it, and that history has to be verified before the part goes back on an aircraft.

    Market driver

    Supply delays and AOG pressure are pushing operators toward USM

    Lead times for new OEM parts keep stretching. Airlines and MROs increasingly source serviceable parts from aircraft teardowns and engine part-outs to secure availability, recover faster from AOG events and reduce downtime. Markets that once lagged in USM acceptance, such as China and Asia-Pacific, are starting to open up.

    Industry challenge

    A used part is only as trustworthy as its paperwork

    Buyers need its back-to-birth history: FAA 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 certificates, previous operators, install and removal records, LLP cycles and non-incident statements. The AOG Technics case showed the cost of documents that can't be trusted.

    Operational bottleneck

    Part records are scattered across PDFs and parties

    Bills of sale, work orders, LLP status sheets and shop visit reports sit with different owners, MROs and suppliers. Manual review is slow, and one trace gap can stall a sale or a lease return.

    Secure Part Traceability with Web3 & Blockchain

    WILBUR™ tracks each aviation part or asset from birth to scrap in real time using patented Web3-powered technology. Each part has a non-fungible token (NFT) digital twin that stores certifications, provenance documentation, and historical imagery. Every event is recorded as an immutable block on the blockchain, linked across the Part's life and creating a chain of chains.

    How WILBUR Works

    Simple, secure, and seamless aviation parts tracking

    1. Data Integration

    WILBUR™ seamlessly connects to (all) ERP systems through its robust API to collect comprehensive company-provided part data.

    2. Real-time Event Tracking

    WILBUR™ captures all ERP-related events happening to parts and assets in real time across the entire lifecycle, from birth to scrap.

    3. Digital Twin Creation

    WILBUR™ transforms all ERP-related events concerning parts or assets and turns them into a secure digital identity via a non-fungible WILBUR token (NFT).

    Challenges in Aviation & WILBUR Benefits

    WILBUR™ solves key problems for aviation industry stakeholders with instant solutions and measurable practical and strategic benefits.

    Stakeholders

    Challenges for Airlines

    Airlines lose time, money, and asset value due to fragmented part traceability, manual documentation, and slow compliance and lease return processes.

    WILBUR™ for Airlines

    Asset Value Maximization

    Overall aircraft and engine values are protected when blockchain trace is in place. This allows the airline to maximize appraisal values when evaluating their overall brand, fleet and inventory values.

    Easy, Cost-Effective Lease Returns

    Digital blockchain trace allows asset records to be verified or transferred to lessors in minutes, not months. Lease return conditions can be met quickly, with significant reductions in overall costs billed back to operators compared with today's paperwork environment.

    Simpler & Quicker Aged Fleet Transition

    Asset blockchain trace allows trace records to be collated and ready for transfer to the next owner in less than a day. In addition, blockchain allows for assets to be sold for teardown with maximum returns available for the asset and the individual parts themselves.

    Rapid Technical Support Management

    Troubleshooting with airframers, engine OEMs and MROs are easy and allow dramatically quicker technical query management. On-wing troubleshooting of parts can have instant verification of the provenance and authenticity of parts in question with blockchain trace.

    Overall Cost Reduction

    Accurate trace prevents unnecessary part removals, repairs, or overhauls and reduces AOG incidents. Line and heavy maintenance digital records are transferred and verified quickly for ease of heavy check sign-off.

    Enhanced Safety, Compliance & Fraud Prevention

    Streamlined sharing of maintenance and AD compliance internally or with airworthiness authorities ensures compliance in minutes. In addition, instant provenance verification stops counterfeit or unauthorized parts from entering operations.
