To keep aircraft cabins up to date and in mint condition during the aircraft's typical service life of up to 30 years, they are replaced, partially or completely, every 5 to 7 years. This so-called cabin retrofit is usually carried out by specialized organizations that plan, design and install the new cabins in the existing aircraft. Even if the aircraft type is known, previous retrofits and the continual maintenance of each specific aircraft result in individual states of each of them. This means that accurate information on the current condition of the aircraft must be manually collected to ensure that the new cabin fits seamlessly into the existing aircraft. Because the retrofit organization is typically neither the aircraft manufacturer nor its operator and because the aircraft is still in service and literally flying around the world, access to the asset itself is limited. Instead, general knowledge and specific information about the aircraft to be modified must be combined to create a holistic view. Today, this is done by manually going through a multitude of documents, starting with standard manuals and, in particular, the documentation of previous aircraft modifications. This is time-consuming and prone to errors.
