Aircraft Maintenance and Safety Practices
Enhanced By Newest Version of Production Management Software
New version allows all Sinex customers
to benefit from the entire breadth and depth of application
functionality.
DULUTH, MN, October 5, 2004
– Sinex Aviation Technologies (Sinex) today announced
a new version of its web-based aircraft maintenance software.
This enhanced product is available to enhance several key
functionalities within its flagship FleetCycle Production
Manager application.
The Sinex FleetCycle® Production Manager-Version
2.6 was updated to include combined features and function
upgrades most often requested by existing users of these applications.
Airline maintenance and engineering departments use these
tools to monitor and document airworthiness. The large numbers
of routine and non-routine tasks that are accomplished during
a heavy maintenance check make automation essential for the
return of a safe aircraft to flight service and are particularly
valued for their ability to generate cost-savings in maintenance
operations. This software tool provides Sinex’s airline customers
which include Southwest Airlines, Air Canada and US Airways
with the ability to ensure that aircraft are returned to service
more quickly and efficiently and in full compliance with approved
maintenance plans.
Sinex CEO and President John Miller said current airline customers
have been pleased with the cost savings and operating efficiencies
the product offers and are now looking for improvements that
further enhance productivity. He said Production Manager,
Version 2.6 is the result of the input from multiple customers.
The new version leverages the application’s inherent user
intuitiveness and provides even faster status report loading,
allows the combining of multiple tasks and added security
features to control user access to non-routine task generation.
“All of these features contribute to the airline goals of
continued emphasis on safety and improved maintenance operations
efficiencies” said Miller.
Sinex Aviation Technologies' FleetCycle® software suite of
seven products provides airline management with real-time,
globally available intelligence on maintenance activity and
fleet status. The system tracks detailed task and labor data
directly from the hangar floor and line stations, using a
combination of database technologies, wireless communications
and a web-browser interface. These applications allow electronic
assignment and tracking of maintenance tasks as well as real-time
updates, documentation and reporting immediately upon task
completion. Sinex is the first to apply this combination of
technology to the aircraft maintenance industry and is considered
a thought leader in the aviation maintenance industry.
