Bluetail has completed two capability upgrades to its aviation aircraft records digitisation platform.

It has also upgraded the foundation of its MACH search engine's performance through refinements of the architecture, including improvements to the database's front end, algorithms and records rendering.

“As our customer base continues to expand, we are always asking maintenance personnel about what our software can do to make their jobs easier,” explains Bluetail co-founder Stuart Illian. “Many said that they still spend way too much time organising and researching their aircraft records, both paper and digital.

“When records scanning is also involved, it can take up to six weeks to digitise and organise all records required for events such as conformity inspections, audits and an aircraft sale,” he adds. “We are looking to crush that timeframe while also providing much more utility in the process.

“Our engineering and product team conducted several months of discovery around the latest in business process automation processes using A.I. and machine learning,” Illian continues. “The result is our new MACH Automation module, which can easily and quickly recognise FAA forms, as well as an ever expanding list of the broad range of aircraft maintenance related forms. It then automatically organises and indexes all of that information into filters and views to include inclusion in Bluetail's revolutionary aircraft back to birth aircraft timeline.”
