The Lifecycle Synapse

Integrated Product Support, rewired

Decades of support knowledge, locked in documents — rewired into a living graph.

Axon reads your legacy ILS archive and turns it into a standards-compliant knowledge graph your engineers can question, trace, and build on, from ingest to S-Series publication.

01 · INGEST

Bring it in.

Manuals, catalogues, FMECAs, records: any format, dual-engine OCR.

02 · EXTRACT

AI lifts typed entities and relationships, each traceable to its source.

03 · MODEL

Connect it.

Fuse documents into one graph; deconflict what they disagree on.

04 · ANALYSE

Question it.

Graph-aware AI, grounded search and impact analysis, with citations.

05 · REPORT

Publish it.

S-Series artefacts and data exports, generated at the click of a button.

Why it matters

A platform outlives the people and systems that documented it.

Findable

Decades of manuals and catalogues, answerable in seconds, not weeks of searching.

Connected

Assets, tasks, failures, spares and publications, linked the way the system actually works.

Traceable

Every fact carries its source document, page and the exact line it was read from.

Compliant

Grounded in the S-Series standards: structurally, not as a label applied afterwards.

The knowledge to support a platform for thirty years is already written, scattered across legacy ILS archives no one can fully read. Axon turns it into a living, traceable, standards-compliant graph: the digital twin of your product support.

01 · INGEST

Bring in everything.

Dual-engine ingestion

Every source, every format.

Maintenance manuals, provisioning catalogues, FMECAs, drawings, spreadsheets. All in.

Two OCR engines read the hardest defence documents: Azure Content Understanding for pixel-exact bounding boxes, Mistral Document AI for dense, multi-column tables. Both normalise to one schema, with line-level confidence you can review before anything moves on.

02 · EXTRACT

Read like an engineer.

AI extraction

Text becomes typed knowledge.

13 entity types, 14+ relationships, every one traceable to its source.

The model reads each page and lifts the structure an engineer would: assets, components, failure modes, spare parts, tasks and hazards, and the relationships between them. Every entity keeps its page number and the verbatim line it came from.

From the page

The Mk3 Gearbox drives the main shaft assembly. A known bearing seizure failure mode requires the seal kit MK3-GBX-04 and a scheduled 120-hour inspection by qualified personnel.

Graph · Fusion · Deconfliction

Many documents. One source of truth.

Fuse every document into a single graph, and resolve what they disagree on.

As documents commit, the graph grows. The fusion engine merges the same asset described in five places into one node, matching on NSN, Part Number + CAGE and LCN. The deconfliction engine then settles conflicting values by confidence and provenance. Nothing merges without human sign-off.

04 · ANALYSE

Question your fleet.

Graph-aware AI

Answers, grounded in your graph.

Ask in plain language. Get an answer with citations, and the impact mapped out.

Smart search and reasoning run over the graph, not a guess: every answer cites the document, page and node it came from. Trace a failure across subsystems, run an impact analysis before a change, and pin what matters to build an evidence trail.

Content Studio

From graph to artefact.

S1000D data modules, FMECAs, IPCs, task analyses, training: generated from grounded data.

Pick a template and Content Studio drafts a formal S-Series artefact straight from the graph, every claim cited back to source. Then export to Word, PDF, XML or HTML, or as structured data your PLM and ERP can ingest.

Built for S-Series

Compliance is structural, not decorative.

The S-Series specifications don't just label the output; they govern what gets extracted, how entities resolve, and which relationships are valid.

SX000i

IPS Framework

System identity and Logistic Support Analysis governance: the backbone of the whole programme.

S1000D

Technical Publications

Modular documentation via Data Module Codes, generated rather than retyped.

S2000M

Material Management

Provisioning and cataloguing: NSN, part numbers and CAGE codes resolved automatically.

S3000L

Logistic Support Analysis

Product breakdown, task analysis and the support resources each task needs.

S5000F

In-Service Feedback

Failure reporting, FMECA and reliability: the loop back from the fleet.

S6000T

Training Analysis

Competencies, skill codes and training packages, traced to the tasks they support.

What it's worth

Value to programs

A sovereign, living digital twin of your support data. ILS-to-IPS migration in weeks, not years. Every decision traceable to source, every artefact standards-compliant and audit-ready by default.

Value to primes & OEMs

Turn the support-data package you owe your customer into a repeatable, automated pipeline. Generate S-Series deliverables from grounded knowledge and ship them faster, with the evidence trail built in.

Weeks, not months. Traceable, not trusted-on-faith. A living digital twin of your product support, within reach of teams that could never build it before.

Built for serious programs

Enterprise-grade, sovereign by design.

Sovereign-hostable

Deployable to the Azure region your programme requires, with data residency aligned to national rules. Sovereignty built in, not bolted on.

Human in the loop

AI proposes; a person reviews, corrects and commits, at every stage from OCR to the committed graph. Nothing enters without human sign-off.

Your data stays yours

Azure OpenAI never trains on your content; inference is isolated to your deployment. Full provenance from source line to graph node.

  • Source-traceable end to end
  • Human-reviewed
  • No model training on your data
  • Classification-aware
  • Role-based access
  • Sovereign Azure (AU)
