On June 17, Panasonic Avionics opened a new software design and development facility in Pune, India.
Panasonic Avionics’ new facility was inaugurated in the presence of the Chief Guest, the Honourable Minister of State for Civil Aviation & Cooperation, Shri Murlidhar Mohol.
The new facility is the first in India dedicated to supporting the development and delivery of IFEC solutions. Over 200 skilled engineers have been employed at the point of launch, with growth plans in place to scale the software engineering talent at the facility to support the increasing demand from airlines for IFEC solutions that will deliver personalised experiences for their passengers.
Panasonic Avionics’ new software design and development facility in Pune is integral to the company’s strategy of enabling airlines to realise their passenger digital engagement visions by using the most innovative IFEC solutions, supported by best-in-class enterprise software tools that are self-service and designed to lower IFEC solution lifecycle costs.
A range of software will be developed, tested, and sustained in state-of-the-art laboratories throughout the facility to deliver passenger experiences for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft that meet airlines’ needs. These include the X Series in-flight entertainment system and digital solutions such as airline interactives, which enable airlines to create unique seatback passenger experiences, IFEC development support via SDKs (software development kits) and mobile companion apps, to name a few.
