Lufthansa Technik is creating a Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem by incorporating Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS) to lead the digital transformation of the aviation industry in technical asset operation. Swiss-AS, the developer of the leading M&E/MRO software AMOS, is joining Lufthansa Technik Group.
By bringing together AMOS with AVIATAR, the independent platform for Data & Analytics Solutions and flydocs, the provider of Digital Records & Asset Solutions, under one roof, Lufthansa Technik can now offer an unprecedented digital coverage of the tech-ops value stream: these three solutions are the pillars of the Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem that will create additional value for customers using a customer-centric and collaborative approach.
In order to push the Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem, Lufthansa Group has decided to bundle all related activities under one organissational roof. For this purpose Lufthansa Technik has purchased 100% of Swiss-AS shares from Swiss International Air Lines. Flydocs and AVIATAR are already part of Lufthansa Technik Group.
The three entities remain independent but will enhance collaboration and join forces by connecting the dots between the modularly designed solutions. For the first time there will be comprehensive data coverage along the entire value stream in technical operations. This data, combined with the digital know-how in all three independent solution providers as well as Lufthansa Technik’s engineering expertise will result in completely new offerings, accelerated digitalisation and added value for customers. As a result, the Ecosystem will reduce MRO costs, enhance process efficiency, increase operational stability and aircraft availability and also optimise asset values.
The Ecosystem has five principles that will benefit the customers: it is open to collaborate and link with customers or external digital solutions, modular to make individual use of parts feasible and it is neutral, meaning, that a customer stays independent of OEMs and MROs. It is also secure, granting customers full control and ownership of their data. Last but not least, the Ecosystem will be seamless to ensure a consistent workflow and data access across solutions.
