Case Study: European Aerospace Manufacturing Company achieves streamlined engine data management with IDBS E-WorkBook

European Aerospace Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

European Aerospace Manufacturing Company, a major European aerospace manufacturer, needed to replace its legacy Lotus Notes-based document management system for the Engine Management Group’s aircraft engine algorithm development process. The team required better handling of program datasets, validation workflows, Matlab module version control, long-term reuse, and more secure, granular access to shared data. IDBS provided its E-WorkBook platform to meet these R&D data management needs.

IDBS implemented E-WorkBook with configured data structures, workflow templates, external system links, and automated integration with Matlab, creating a single repository for modules, test results, and documentation. The result was improved version control, stronger security and traceability, streamlined reporting, and daily-updated reports available at the touch of a button. The customer also reported that the solution was roughly 50% off-the-shelf and 50% custom configured, helping speed implementation and simplify ongoing maintenance.
