Secure Part Traceability with Web3 & Blockchain

WILBUR™ tracks each aircraft 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.

Birth

The fan blade is born at the end of the line, gets its ID plate, and the OEM gate creates its Part Token. Then it is boxed and shelved.

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.
