Yocova members Stelae Technologies and Flatirons Solutions have partnered to launch a new digital transformation solution for aviation manufacturing, in particular MROs.
Stelae Technologies will partner with Flatiron Solutions to develop a joint solution designed for Manufacturing, OEMs, Aerospace and Defence markets, and in particular MROs. The solution has been developed to transform manual and paper-based processes and provide a fully digitalised way of unlocking data, increasing accuracy, and boosting productivity.
Currently around 90% of data in the Maintenance sector is in paper or PDF format and around 40% of Maintenance and Repair crews still rely on Excel spreadsheets and manual processes from multi-source documents such as service bulleting, manuals, directive, catalogues and others, leading to risks around human errors and bottlenecks in workflows.
The solution builds upon Stelae’s Khemeia digital transformation tool, which converts multi-source documents such as AMMs, IPCs, SBs, Ads, JICs into an XML format. This is then fed into Flatiron Solutions’ digital tools such as eTask, Pinpoint, KCS and Studio to completely digitise engineering work packages and eliminate manual processes. The solution enables the unlocking and joining up of data and processes, and the ability to access it across multiple devices including mobile. Stelae and Flatiron’s joint solution can eliminate manual and paper-based processes, enhance accuracy and improve safety, and lead to a productivity gain of more than 75%.
Stelae Technologies comment
