Trax, a global provider of paperless aviation maintenance and engineering software, has announced two significant collaborations that mark a major step forward in the digital transformation of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations.
In partnership with SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC), Trax will enable the fully digital MRO platform at SIAEC's new heavy maintenance facility in Malaysia, known as Base Maintenance Malaysia (BMM). The facility will adopt Trax's eMRO and eMobility software solutions to digitise its entire operational workflow, including planning, task execution, release management, and costing. This initiative represents a major milestone in the aviation industry's transition to paperless processes, promising streamlined operations and improved efficiency through the use of cutting-edge technology.
Simultaneously, Trax has joined forces with Rolls-Royce to launch a seamless interface between its eMRO platform and Rolls-Royce's Blue Data Thread system. This integration creates a connected ecosystem for airlines, MROs and OEMs, allowing for real-time data exchange and deeper alignment between engine performance data and maintenance activities.
The interface supports predictive maintenance by enabling continuous access to engine configuration and condition data, reducing downtime and optimising maintenance scheduling. It also enhances Rolls-Royce's IntelligentEngine digital twin capabilities, allowing for more accurate performance forecasting and fewer shop visits.
“This collaboration with Trax exemplifies our commitment to leveraging digital technology to improve business outcomes for customers,” said Richard Swallow, Rolls-Royce's Head of Data Services for Civil Aerospace. “The Blue Data Thread is a key component of our vision for digitally enabled services, and our new interface with Trax will help airlines maximize their operational efficiency.”
