Update WP 3

Work Package 3 has made strong progress in developing the Hyperion Control Tower concept and expanding the used ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) orchestration tool; ILIAS.

The work started with the development of detailed User Stories describing the lifecycle of aviation components. These stories formed the foundation for the Control Tower concept, including the stakeholder landscape, data architecture, and functional requirements.

Based on this foundation, ILIAS has been further developing its ERP to digitally support the Control Tower approach. Key progress includes the integration of the Data Space connector from WP2 as developed by Innotractor, which allows the ERP system to retrieve and offer data to any third party through a regulated Data Space. Furthermore, dashboards have been developed that provide an integrated supply chain overview, enabling more informed and proactive decision-making.

During the 2025 General Assembly, an integrated demo showcased how WP1, WP2, and WP3 come together in a single end-to-end supply chain solution. This shared understanding of the overall architecture and interdependencies also served as input for further refinement of the concept.

Building on this, a dedicated User Story on Smart Contracting in external repair of parts was developed. This scenario demonstrates how components, repair vendors, logistics, documentation, and contractual agreements can be digitally connected. It highlights how Smart Contracts:

• enable transparency and traceability;

• control access to technical data;

• monitor conditions such as turnaround time and documentation;

• automatically enforce repair and payment agreements.

With this strong conceptual foundation in place, the focus now shifts to further expanding the ERP into a complete demonstrator. Current efforts are aimed at translating these User Stories into working functionality to fully showcase the Hyperion Control Tower in practice.
