Solutions
DS-AP: Advancing Engine & Turbine Reliability with AI
Minimize Failures. Extend Lifespan. Ensure Safety.
Traditional engine maintenance depends on fixed intervals and reactive fixes—often missing early-stage issues. In aviation, where reliability is critical, AI-powered predictive maintenance is vital. DS-AP integrates DS-Track, an Edge AI smart sensor, with the DS-Insight platform to monitor turbines, rotors, and gear assemblies in real time. By analyzing vibration and load data directly at the edge, it identifies early signs of faults like bearing wear or rotor imbalance—before they affect flight safety.

How it Works
Delphisonic’s predictive maintenance system combines Edge AI-powered DS-Track sensors with the DS-Insight analytics platform to continuously monitor engine and turbine systems in real time. Data is processed directly on the sensor, enabling early fault detection before critical failures occur. This helps optimize maintenance planning, reduce unscheduled interventions, and enhance flight safety and system reliability.

DS-Track
DS-Track is an Edge AI-powered smart sensor that can be seamlessly integrated into aviation systems such as aircraft engines, turbine assemblies, rotors, and gearboxes. It continuously monitors key parameters like vibration, temperature, and dynamic stress, processing the data locally in real time. The data is transmitted—via wired or wireless connections—to the DS-Insight platform, but most anomalies are detected directly on the sensor itself, enabling early warnings and accurate alerts before critical failures occur.

DS-Insight
DS-Insight is Delphisonic’s AI-powered platform for predictive maintenance, and the DS-AP module is specially developed for engine and turbine systems in aviation. It analyzes real-time vibration, temperature, and load data from critical components like rotors, bearings, gearboxes, and turbine stages—detecting early signs of failure before they compromise flight safety. Smart alarm filtering reduces false positives and ensures timely, actionable alerts. With its intuitive interface and cloud connectivity, DS-Insight with DS-AP helps aviation teams optimize maintenance planning, improve reliability, and minimize costly unscheduled downtime.
