Safran Helicopter Engines (Safran) designs, builds, markets and supports the most comprehensive range of low-to-medium-power gas turbines for helicopters. Extensive physical testing is required for the development of new engines, development of derivative engines and qualification of engines for new applications. In the past it took Safran about two months using Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets to analyze test data for a typical new gas turbine engine program, consisting primarily of filtering, statistical analysis and reporting.
In an effort to improve data analysis efficiency, Safran switched to nCode Automation which more efficiently manages the large data files involved in testing and provides a wide range of data analysis automation tools. Time to analyze data for the most recent new engine was reduced to from months to only one week. “The improvement that we have achieved in data analysis efficiency will make it possible to improve product performance and robustness by increasing the scope of data analysis without lengthening time to market,” said Pierre Mialocq, Project Manager at Safran (formerly Turbomeca).
Safran is an international high-technology group and tier-1 supplier of systems and equipment in the Aerospace and Defense markets. Operating worldwide, Safran has nearly 58,000 employees and generated sales of 15.8 billion euros in 2016. Safran is listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange, and its share is part of the CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 indices.
Safran Helicopter Engines (formerly Turbomeca) is the world's leading manufacturer of helicopter engines, with more than 72,000 produced since being founded. It offers the widest range of helicopter turboshafts in the world and has more than 2,500 customers in 155 countries.
