#6: Don't Be Paralyzed By Too Much Data — Industry Veteran Don Wilson On Just-In-Time Aircraft Parts and Operations

FLYHT's JumpSeat

💡 Having the capabilities to extract intelligence from big data that is actionable is key for efficient operations. Modern aircraft generate hundreds of GBs of data every day and it's easy to be lost without an intelligence system to help you navigate through that data.
Welcome to this episode of the JumpSeat with host Chris Glass and guest Don Wilson, owner of wILSon Consulting, former VP of Sales at Inventory Locator Service (ILS) and US Army pilot. In this episode, Don shares his seasoned background in military aviation and his 20+ years of sales experience at ILS. Through extensive experience in the industry, Don emphasizes the importance of having a capable intelligence system that can compile and churn raw data into actionable intelligence not only for MRO, but also for operations. The capability to handle data provides situational awareness which allows operators to detect and resolve issues as soon as they occur, or even preventatively before they happen.
Listen to the full episode to hear Don's experiences with ILS and the aircraft parts market, as well as insights on the future development of the aircraft parts marketplace.
