Challenge Prompts
 
Choose one or more of the following prompts to focus your project around:
 
  1. How can Bombardier integrate AI-driven solutions to enhance supplier available environmental data across the value chain and to reduce environmental impacts?
  2. How can AI-driven simulations and digital twins be used to innovate and streamline the testing and certification processes for more sustainable and energy-efficient aircraft?
  3. How can Bombardier use AI to measure and forecast its environmental footprint in real-time, to support the business aviation industry commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emission by 2050?
  4. How can Bombardier use AI in the manufacturing sites to streamline operations and reduce its environmental footprint?
  5. How can predictive maintenance models extend the lifespan of machinery and reduce the environmental impact of frequent replacements?
  6. How can AI contribute to creating a circular economy model focused on reusing, recycling, and repurposing aircraft materials?
  7. How can AI be leveraged to measure and optimize the carbon footprint impact of Bombardier’s fleet of Mobile Response Team (MRT), which operate a fleet of +30 Repair Trucks in US and Western Europe, which are dispatched to hundreds of Airports when an aircraft needs unscheduled maintenance?
  8. How can you leverage AI to position parts within Bombardier’s international network of parts depot and hubs to minimize Co2 footprint of long-distance shipments?
