The Iron Law of Megaprojects: Over Budget, Over Time, Under Benefit.
The Aerospace industry is facing a 17,000-aircraft backlog and unsustainable quality strain. We don’t just manage projects; we fix the data silos causing the delays.
The Digital Memory: Intelligence that Remembers
Traditional systems suffer from "Organizational Amnesia"—every new project starts from a blank slate, risking the same errors that plagued the last.
The Solution: We replace "Starting from Scratch" with a proprietary Knowledge Graph. By applying over 50,000 domain-specific questions to your unique data environment, the system identifies contradictions and requirement gaps before they reach the shop floor. It doesn't just store documents; it understands the "Wisdom of 1,000 Projects."
Bridging the Complexity Gap
The industry is stuck in a structural bottleneck. With a backlog of 15,461 aircraft and a production cycle that still relies on fragmented data, the old "System of Record" is no longer enough. You don’t need more data; you need the wisdom to act on it.
Why the "Old Way" is Broken
The 11-Year Delivery Trap Today’s aerospace leaders are sitting on a staggering $100B Complexity Gap. Combined, Airbus and Boeing hold over 15,461 aircraft orders—representing more than eleven years of production at current build rates. When delivery shortfalls reach 5,300 aircraft, the bottleneck isn't just physical parts; it’s the "Organizational Amnesia" that stalls decision-making.
The "Filing Cabinet" Problem Most Tier 1 suppliers rely on legacy PLM and ERP systems—what we call "Systems of Record." These are excellent at storing data, but silent when you ask them why a production line is stalled.
The Cost: 65% of aerospace projects fail to meet budget and schedule because they "Start from Scratch" every time.
The Symptom: Engineers spend 40% of their time auditing documents instead of innovating.
The Architecture of Certainty: From Fragmented Data to Institutional Wisdom
In complex aerospace manufacturing, the bottleneck isn't a lack of data—it’s the inability to act on it. Traditional PLM and ERP platforms act as "Systems of Record"; they are excellent at archiving the past but silent about the future.
Our solution introduces a System of Intelligence—a cognitive layer that sits atop your existing infrastructure to bridge the gap between "having data" and "having answers."
Cognitive Connectivity: Seeing the "DNA" of the Part
A standard database sees a part number as a static entry. In high-stakes engineering, a part is a living history of revisions, certifications, and dependencies.
The Solution: Our assistive intelligence maps the entire lineage of every component. It automatically connects the dots between a single part number, its complex sub-assemblies, and the overlapping regulatory requirements (ISO, AS9100, MIL-SPEC). It provides the context your engineers currently spend 40% of their day searching for.
Operational Velocity: Closing the Execution Gap
The "Complexity Gap"—the space between what your organization knows and what it actually executes—is where budgets die and backlogs grow.
The Solution: By automating the heavy lifting of data synthesis and requirement validation, our solution acts as a force multiplier for your workforce.
Plan 65x Faster: Transition from bidding to execution with pre-validated requirements.
Eliminate Rework: Prevent up to 90% of the late-stage design changes that fuel the 11-year production backlog.
Act with Certainty: Move from "manual investigation" to "automated insight" in hours, not weeks.
Why Big Projects Fail
Breaking the "Eternal Beginner’s Syndrome."
The Problem: Why do massive projects consistently blow budgets and miss deadlines? Because we consistently underestimate complexity and fail to learn from the past. Most organizations suffer from Eternal Beginner’s Syndrome—treating every new project like a blank slate because their "Tribal Knowledge" is buried in silos or lost to talent churn.
The Insight: Lack of experience is the leading cause of project failure. As delays incur, the cost of completion skyrockets. In the high-stakes world of aerospace, you cannot afford to start from zero.
The Solution: Experience is the only antidote to failure. SCOTi® PLM integrates your organization’s collective intelligence into every new bid and every new design.
SCOTi is your Experience-as-a-Service solution!
Think Slow. Act Fast.
Moving from Artificial to Assistive Intelligence
SCOTi is far more than a chatbot. Engineered in Scotland by smartR AI, it is a private, secure digital partner designed to transform chaotic data into clear, executable plans. We don’t just call it AI; we call it Assistive Intelligence.
At smartR AI, we’ve spent years realizing that the industry needs to rethink its approach. The "Artificial" in Artificial Intelligence has always felt a bit hollow—because AI shouldn’t try to replicate human intelligence. Instead, it is developing its own unique form of logic that excels when it works with us, not instead of us.
When we stop viewing AI as a replacement for human skill and start focusing on how it can augment our expertise, remarkable things happen. SCOTi doesn’t just do the work; it makes your best work possible.
The Knowledge Tree: Proactive, Not Passive
While standard AI tools wait for you to prompt them, SCOTi uses our proprietary Knowledge Tree to proactively find the right questions to ask. It doesn’t just give you an answer; it gives you an edge.
Foster Contextual Understanding Gain deeper insights into complex engineering puzzles. SCOTi connects the dots between your historical data, past requirements, and current project goals to reveal the full picture.
Generate Informed Decisions Leverage 45+ years of AI deployment expertise. SCOTi provides the critical thinking support your team needs to ensure superior, high-stakes outcomes without the guesswork.
Modular by Design. Precise by Necessity.
Using building blocks—modularity—is the most efficient way to execute major projects. SCOTi® applies this "Lego" philosophy to Requirements Generation.
How it Works: The Data Hoover and Super Search functions: SCOTi® "hoovers" structured and unstructured information from your historical PDFs, bids, and legacy PLM systems.
Tribal Knowledge Capture: It captures the "unwritten rules" of your most senior engineers, ensuring that their expertise stays within your secure private ecosystem.
Requirement Blocks: Instead of writing from scratch, your team snaps together validated, compliant requirement blocks that are pre-checked for standards like DO-178C and ARP4754.
From High-Wire Act to Guided Path.
By automating up to 80% of the tedious, error-prone work of requirement management, SCOTi® PLM transforms your project outcomes:
The smartR AI Promise
We are the human face of Generative AI. Our mission is to provide risk-free, controllable, and financially viable solutions for the innovators shaping the future of flight.
