MRO providers such as AJW Technique are an integral part of the aviation supply chain. They provide the maintenance, repair, and overhaul services necessary to keep aircraft in safe and airworthy condition.
MROs work closely with operators to ensure flight planning is impeccable and service delivery seamless. In this partnership, aircraft parts pedigree, provenance on and off aircraft, and repair trace data are essential to accuracy, efficiency, and flawless uptime.
In the ever-evolving world of technology, digital transformations ensure stakeholders are connected from data, to process, to people and through all layers of product, sales, supply chain, delivery, and customer experience.
Leading the way in predictive maintenance from the inside out, the Group’s state-of-the-art MRO facility, AJW Technique in Montreal, works with Neo NextGen and its partner ecosystem to design and develop solutions that solve systemic industry issues, including a dynamic predictive maintenance console from sales inflow to pricing, to procurement including parts bill of material and labour planning. It has also developed a paperless workflow app that will keep its experienced technicians dedicated to component touch-time, with ease of access to all technical data, photo, speech-to-text, compliance, and integration to the ERP.
To complement these digital advances and other innovative proofs of concept in work, AJW Technique is now embarking on a blockchain pilot with SkyThread Corporation. With connected data comes opportunity, optimization and scale, AJW Technique sees the value in contributing such data to propel the industry forward.
SkyThread began its mission two years ago focused on bringing to life the vision outlined in “Data for the Life of an Aircraft”, itself a milestone synthesis of over twenty years of learnings in aviation digital transformation. This work is now coming to fruition. Sharing end-to-end data on assets and parts has proven, exponential benefit across the aviation lifecycle in support of the trifecta of turnaround time, cost, and reliability management.
