Digitalisation: a performance enabler

(2-minute read)

After two critical Covid years, the aviation sector is still operating in a complex environment. Between galloping inflation, fuel prices and a tense geopolitical context affecting traditional routes and lengthening journeys, the decarbonisation of aviation and the difficulty of recruiting maintenance staff, the bill keeps growing.

However, good things always come out of every crisis – if only because we sometimes have no choice but to change the game!

Indeed, many operators have been forced to renew their fleet. Sometimes entirely, moving towards safer, lower-consumption new-generation aircraft to replace their old ones at the end of their life cycle.

If the average age of an aircraft was still 20 years yesterday, it should now be half that. Improving maintenance processes and making them efficient is therefore becoming a necessity.

Between abundant technical documentation that is increasingly complex to integrate, necessary but growing training time for technicians and mechanics, and heavy, technical regulation, work processes must be optimised, operational performance increased, costs reduced and the customer relationship nurtured by giving it more time and better service.

Digitalisation brings effective solutions to optimise, improve and streamline every step of the aircraft maintenance process.

The Tracing Flight suite is designed with this in mind, with the constant concern of being quickly understood so that it can be used easily and immediately. It is developed and maintained to provide a better user experience with advanced ergonomics; its user-friendly interface makes it attractive and easy to operate.

Thanks to our dedicated software such as TracingLine©, designed for MRO activity and the workshop, our solution offers:

Better process control
Global, interconnected management of the needs of the maintenance centre's players
Prevention and responsiveness in problem solving
Repairs in record time, bringing all the data together and analysing it in real time

Both predictive and corrective maintenance are thus optimised, and repair costs, when needed, are considerably reduced. Moreover, increasing the reliability and safety of maintenance operations is at the heart of our concerns, because the stakes are major for the aviation sector.

We therefore make sure you can easily and accurately collect information in real time, and it is through a process of continuous improvement that we develop our software solutions.

Our teams, committed to permanent innovation, aim to offer ever more automated tasks, to integrate an ever larger volume of documents to manage, to facilitate smooth collaboration throughout the maintenance process and to eliminate human-factor errors as much as possible.

By using latest-generation software solutions such as TracingLine©, work instructions are shared and provide the right information at the right time while keeping the traceability of each task, identifying when, who and how it was started and completed.
