A joint venture between RT-Project Technologies and IC IAS, RT-Innovation Developments, will conduct a comprehensive automation of civil aircraft maintenance. The information system will unite developers, manufacturers, maintenance centres and airlines. Some of its components are already functioning at enterprises of the aviation industry, the full implementation of the solution is planned by the end of 2025. This was reported by the Rostec press service.
The system will provide automation of maintaining the airworthiness of aircraft, maintenance and repair and preparation of documentation. The development was presented at the annual conference Digital Industry of Industrial Russia, which takes place from May 31 to June 2 in Nizhny Novgorod. The functionality of the software products included in the system allows working with documentation and automating the accounting of damage, planning the maintenance of the aircraft and the consumption of material and technical resources, as well as forming a schedule of upcoming work in accordance with the configuration and purpose of the aircraft.
Rostec said that some of the modules of the new system are already in operation at aircraft manufacturers, while others are under development. The system will become a “single window” for operators and will use only domestic software solutions. The “single window” format implies centralisation of all processes related to after-sales service and is the first step in providing operators with integrated services, which will significantly simplify information exchange between manufacturers and operators.
Currently, the information system is being implemented at Irkut Corp. for the SSJ-New and MS-21 projects, with certain modules already put into commercial operation. Work on the import substitution of foreign software solutions with the use of the Corporation’s technologies is underway within the framework of the Aeroflot Industrial Centre of Excellence for Air Transport, headed by PJSC Aeroflot.
The integrated after-sales service information system will allow the aviation cluster enterprises to abandon the foreign systems currently in use, whose vendors have unilaterally suspended their services in Russia.
