Electronic Task Cards for Aviation MRO
Developed by EmpowerMX
DULUTH, MN, June 18, 2007
– EmpowerMX, the industry-leading producer of aviation
maintenance software solutions, announces the development
of a critical, high-value addition to the FleetCycleŽ Execution
Suite - an Electronic Task Card (ETC). This development will
speed the transition to a digital, paperless environment in
maintenance operations. Electronic routine task cards will
be incorporated within the EmpowerMX FleetCycleŽ Production
Manager, MRO Manager and Line Manager Execution Suite applications
for heavy and line maintenance, modifications, and other maintenance
activities. The Electronic Task Cards will be XML-based (either
by conversion or authoring system), imported into the various
FleetCycleŽ applications and will be interactive and specific
to each maintenance event. The XML-based Task Card that will
be imported into the FleetCycle system will incorporate the
mechanic and inspector interaction and sign off of Task Cards
within the specified application and prepare the Electronic
Task Card for export to the customer records system.
"EmpowerMX is working today with industry
leading airlines and MROs who understand how to leverage the
power and ROI of a paperless environment," said Dinakara Nagalla,
Chief Technology Officer for EmpowerMX. "In addition to EmpowerMX's
already fully electronic non-routine card, the addition of
the routine card is a major milestone toward a paperless environment.
Early adopters will be the first to achieve the benefits of
total control of paperwork flow, total accountability for
all paperwork, full audit trails and recordkeeping; not to
mention the information they will begin to harness around
maintenance programs. We are very excited to be working with
industry leaders who realize how to achieve sustainable value
with technology solutions."
This multiple-product enhancement will
support airlines and MRO providers with ongoing or planned
Lean initiatives designed to automate and improve maintenance-related
business processes; focusing on eliminating waste, reducing
costs and improving efficiencies. This EmpowerMX development
is part of a continuing effort to deliver next-generation
information technology meeting aviation maintenance customer
requirements.
