Today we’re taking you inside how InterConnect Wiring partners with OEMs to build the next generation of aircraft from early design to final integration across the entire supply chain.
Why Collaboration and Connections Matter
Modern aircraft are more connected than ever. Avionics systems are evolving fast, and wiring harnesses are the nervous system that keeps everything communicating, powered, and mission-ready. That’s why collaboration with OEMs isn’t optional. It’s essential.
At InterConnect Wiring, connections matter. They matter with our employees, customers, suppliers, community, and products. From concept to sustainment, we work side-by-side with all of our partners to solve problems before they ever reach the aircraft.
Upstream Collaboration (Early Design Phase)
One of the most powerful ways we support OEMs is by getting involved early (really early). During initial planning, our team collaborates with OEM engineering teams to:
- Work through data, MFG specs, and special tooling
- Identify specific requirements such as materials that affect weight and space optimization
- Keying in on specific routing and installation efficiency
- An overall mitigation plan for risk reduction before production
When we’re involved early, we can prevent headaches and potential redesign changes later. That saves time and cost, and keeps programs on schedule.
Midstream Collaboration (Production & Integration)
During production, we integrate directly into our workflows to ensure seamless manufacturability and delivery through:
- Agile production support
- Rapid response to design changes
- Strict quality and traceability standards
- Transparent communication & scheduling
We’re not just a supplier. We operate as an extension of the OEM and their teams.
Downstream Collaboration (Sustainment & Lifecycle Support)
We support OEMs throughout the lifecycle of their platforms with:
- Repair & overhaul support
- Obsolescence management
- Configuration updates
- Fleet modernization
As aircraft evolve, their wiring systems must evolve with them. We stay aligned every step of the way.
The Big Picture
Upstream. Midstream. Downstream. From first concept to long-term sustainment, collaboration drives everything we do. Because when OEMs and partners work together, we don’t just build harnesses. We help power the future of aviation.
