ATR and Swiss-AS team up to improve digitalisation of airline maintenance management

Regional aircraft manufacturer ATR and Swiss-As, a leading MRO software company, have entered into a partnership with the intention of improving the digitalisation of airline maintenance management.

This is the first collaboration of this type between an aircraft manufacturer and a software company. Through it the two companies will strive to improve and customise the integration of ATR maintenance data into the AMOS software provided by Swiss-AS to ATR operators. The goal is to help airlines to digitalise their maintenance management in the optimum way with a software tailored to their specific needs and operational constraints.

At present, the integration of technical publications, provided by the OEM into the software solution is the responsibility of the operator and often requires the use of standalone systems and middleware to manage data integrity and revisions.

ATR is spearheading the utilization of S1000D for the maintenance documents. Thanks to this partnership, AMOS can induct from ATR AMM, AWM, ESPM, IPC, TSM and MEL in S1000D seamlessly. In the development of the partnership, the intention will also be to include the integration of the operator maintenance programme via S1000D CAMO Engineers, Production Planners/Engineers, Maintenance Controllers, Trouble shooters will benefit from such integration, both from AMOSdesktop and AMOSmobile/EXEC in the near future.

Fabiano Faccoli, CEO of Swiss-AS, said: “We are pleased to sign this partnership with ATR. It represents a step further in supporting operators throughout their digital transformation, making the most of ATR’s expertise as a manufacturer and Swiss-AS’ proficiency in digital maintenance management. This will help them save both time and money.”

Stefano Marazzani, SVP Customer Support and Services at ATR said:  “Through this joint initiative with Swiss-AS, we continue to innovate and develop solutions through digitalisation to better support our customers in managing their in-service fleet including technical and logistic systems. This partnership will integrate our customers’ requirements in terms of maintenance planning and management with an end-to-end approach to evolve our service and support offering.”
