Ameriflight adopts GE Digital Aviation Asset Records
Ameriflight's uptake of GE Digital’s Aviation Asset Records will enable it to make actionable flight ops decisions based on historical data using a dashboard that tracks decision effectiveness through maintenance records.
Ameriflight adopts GE digital aviation asset records.

Texas-based Part 135 cargo airline Ameriflight has chosen GE Digital's Aviation Asset Records software solution to make better informed decisions about its flight operations. The system features an automated dashboard that provides a visual representation of historical data from Ameriflight's maintenance records operation that helps the company make actionable decisions.

Aviation Asset Records, a cloud-based solution, allows operators to digitise, index and archive maintenance records of equipment in use. Records related to individual aircraft can then be connected so the operator has data related to both internal and external operations and documentation between airline and lessor. Maintenance records can then be matched to the relevant maintenance and engineering system.

GE Digital's aviation software professional services team worked closely with the Ameriflight team to translate their needs, identify available data and transform it into actionable information in a custom Microsoft Power BI dashboard based on Ameriflight's maintenance records operation. The team defined a digital path together to transform more data into information for better decision making, continuous improvement and training. Power BI is a business analytics service from Microsoft that provides interactive visualisations and business intelligence capabilities with a simple interface to create reports and dashboards.

“Our goal with this solution is to embrace emerging technologies to streamline our data collection and analysis so we can achieve visibility into real-time metrics,” says Ameriflight director of quality Cliff Hansen. “The GE Digital team partnered with us to set our business objectives and make those objectives achievable by using tangible data and performance monitoring.”

Aviation Asset Records broaden the company's risk management solutions. By leveraging accurate data to enable downstream analytics, operators are able to improve operations and make records more easily accessible, searchable and transferable.

“Given all of the challenges and changes our industry is facing we are seeing incredible innovation coming from perhaps the most untapped asset in aviation, our data,” adds GE Digital general manager Andrew Coleman. “Transparent, data-driven insights will be key to not only returning the industry to safe flight, but also enabling airlines like Ameriflight to operate more efficiently and sustainably.”

As a critical part of the UPS, FedEx and DHL supply chains, Ameriflight has a fleet size of more than 150 aircraft comprising Beech 99 and 1900, Embraer 120 Brasilia and Fairchild SA227 types.
