# Optimizing Aviation Maintenance through Algorithmic Approach of Real-Life Data
## 5 Conclusions  
The aviation industry has undergone significant changes in recent years due to technological advances and the increasing demand for safe and efficient air transportation. One area where significant progress has been made is in aircraft maintenance, with the introduction of advanced technologies playing a crucial role. The use of digital technologies hasrevolutionized the way aircraft maintenance is performed. For example, the introduction of predictive maintenance algorithms has enabled airlines to predict when their aircraft will require maintenance, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. This has been made possible by integrating real-time data from onboard sensors with machine learning algorithms that can identify patterns in the data that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Many areas of the aerospace industry are experiencing a revolutionary fourth evolution, driven by technological breakthroughs, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart networks that connect machines, and systems that can autonomously exchange data and commands, initiate actions, and control each other. New manufacturing focuses on smart products and smart manufacturing processes, as well as vertically and horizontally integrated manufacturing systems. The concept is universal, although it will be renamed locally depending on the various initiatives being undertaken in different regions and industries. As for aerospace in general, so far, the main applications of the Industry 4.0 concept relate to aerospace manufacturing processes such as robotics, additive manufacturing, augmented reality, IoT, virtual reality, and simulation. However, the potential of key supporting Industry 4.0 technologies to increase low-level safety in aerospace has not yet been explored, apart from considerations of how safety is managed in manufacturing facilities and technical maintenance centers [28]. This paper discusses the potential of key Industry 4.0 technologies to increase safety levels in commercial aviation, and how the upcoming concepts of Aviation 4.0 and Industry 4.0 for Aviation may represent a paradigm-shifting opportunity to improve safety and efficiency. New technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and additive manufacturing, can provide a better way to perform maintenance without neglecting traditional approaches [29; 30]. Additive manufacturing can be useful when large inventories need to be avoided. The part can be made from metals such as aluminum or titanium, provided suitable machines and powders are available. In addition, if the part can be redesigned, weight reduction can be achieved through optimized lattice structures. AR can assist users with user-friendly and transparent instructions that blend virtual models and instructions with the real world. Such technology that has transformed aircraft maintenance is the use of augmented reality and virtual reality. These technologies allow maintenance technicians to perform procedures with greater accuracy and efficiency, as they can see instructions and parts superimposed on their real view. This has proven particularly useful for complex and critical tasks where human error could have significant consequences. However, in the Slovak Republic and in aviation there, the introduction of advanced technologies into aviation processes has been much slower than at the global level. One of the factors significantly influencing this fact is that when assessing the appropriateness of implementing a particular technology into the existing processes of aviation, there is often fear and concern of failure that could affect the financial activity of the company. While the fifth industrial revolution in the context of Industry 5.0 is slowly but surely taking place worldwide and is being discussed not only in scientific circles, the potential of Industry 4.0 and its many implementable sub-aspects has not yet been exhausted in the context of the Slovak Republic in a large number of industries.
