SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINES Testimony: How to harmonize LIMS data across 8 sectors?

Faced with heterogeneous tools (Excel, in-house applications), SAFRAN Helicopter Engines chose TEEXMA LIMS to harmonize practices within its materials expertise department.

Thanks to a versatile and deeply configurable solution, the company now manages its test data efficiently and shares information with a wider population.

The solution enables SAFRAN Helicopter Engines to: save time through automatic validation minutes, improve the sharing of process characterizations. , reduce application maintenance by consolidating multiple applications into a single solution.

Tailor-made support for a versatile and integrated LIMS

Harmonizing LIMS practices across 7 to 8 different sectors requires a solution capable of adapting to varied needs and interfacing with the existing ecosystem (test machines, ERP, and the group's common database).

At BASSETTI Group, we supported Safran Helicopter Engines throughout its digital transformation with:

A versatile solution to address a wide range of needs
A deep configuration capability highly appreciated by business sectors, allowing them to quickly adapt to any type of problem
High-performance interfaces connected to test machines and the ERP

A single LIMS platform for 7 to 8 varied sectors

SAFRAN Helicopter Engines digitalizes its test data with TEEXMA® LIMS to replace its heterogeneous tools and improve information sharing.

Context and Challenges

The materials expertise department used heterogeneous solutions (Excel files, an aging Mvision system, and in-house applications) to manage its tests.

The main objectives were to:

  1. Harmonize practices and tools for all sectors within the department (7 or 8 different sectors).
  2. Replace aging or ill-suited solutions.
  3. Improve information sharing and data availability.

Thanks to this digital transformation, all test data is now managed in a harmonized manner and shared more widely across the company.

TEEXMA Deployment and Concrete Results

The collaboration with BASSETTI led to the deployment of a solution chosen specifically for its versatility and deep configuration capabilities.

Key Takeaways:

  • Consolidation: Moving from 4 or 5 heterogeneous applications to maintaining just one.
  • Versatility: Successfully addressing the varied needs of the different sectors.
  • Time Savings: Automatic validation minutes replacing a succession of Excel macros.
  • Data Availability: The TEEXMA® portal provides access to material data to a wider population within the company.
  • Integration: Incoming interfaces with test machines and the ERP, along with a connection to MATRIS (the common materials database for the entire SAFRAN group).

Today, Safran Helicopter Engines benefits from a high-performance and robust LIMS, delivering significant functional gains notably through efficient tabular views.
