![]() ![]() With more than 3,000 737 MAX on order – valued at more than $300 billion – more efficient manufacturing is important to Boeing.Īs Base2 Development Lead Donevan Dolby explains, maintenance crews have to perform diagnostic checks during the manufacturing process and on aircraft when in commercial use, during each gate turn. OMF improves gate-turn efficiency, which improves on-time departure rates. For regular maintenance flight check-ups, it will diagnose fault conditions at the gate. Additional software can be installed on the ONS, so engineers created a software solution to calculate faults that would run on the existing ONS.Ĭalled the Onboard Maintenance Function (OMF), it diagnoses issues when components are installed during manufacturing. The 737 MAX predecessor, the Next Generation (NG), added an Onboard Network System (ONS) that can connect to the sensors. The 737 features new engines and components, along with updated sensor technology that made obsolete traditional wing diagnostics and testing methods used during manufacturing and maintenance – methods that had been in use since the 737’s introduction in the 1960s. ![]() Updated sensor technology on the 737 MAX disrupted the way diagnostics and testing for manufacturing and maintenance is conducted. Base2, an engineering and software development company that specializes in heavily regulated industries, has built a diagnostic software application used on the Boeing 737 MAX that functions similarly to a car’s check engine light. ![]()
