Aviation software provider Ramco Systems has successfully gone live with its Aviation M&E MRO Suite V5.9 at Taiwan's first privately-owned aircraft maintenance company for commercial, rotary and military aircraft and designated government-owned contractor operated facility Air Asia Company (AACL), thereby automating and digitally transforming AACL's business processes.

With modules for production planning, commercials, maintenance execution and supply chain management, Ramco's one stop solution Aviation Suite V5.9 replaced AACL's existing legacy system for proposal management, production planning, heavy maintenance process for commercial aircraft and interfaces with AACL's inventory management solution. As a result, AACL has now recorded a 15 per cent reduction in its production planning process. In addition, Ramco's next-generation innovations such as its Mechanic Anywhere mobile app and real-time dashboards, together with the digital transformation initiatives for task card management and electronic sign offs, enable the company to streamline communication between its departments, analyse man-hour consumption, track opportunity details and the progress of work packages, and report non-routine tasks on the go.

AACL director of commercial aircraft planning Eric YC Tsai says: “With a primary goal of achieving paperless operations and supporting green environmental protection, and with a vision of becoming a world-class and professional aircraft MRO service provider, we found a perfect technology partner and a best-in-class aviation software provider in Ramco Systems. Ramco's rich domain expertise along with the able team members at AACL and Ramco ensured the turnaround of this project during the pandemic. Ramco's digital task card feature has been helping us achieve our goal. We are confident that these will be signed off by the CAA and FAA as well.”

Ramco chief customer officer, aviation, aerospace and defence Manoj Kumar Singh adds: “With the growing aviation industry, organisations today are being mindful of choosing innovative solutions that are not only helping them improve efficiency, but are also helping them achieve green initiatives. Ramco's task card digitisation is a step towards sustainability in aviation. Equipped with the latest technology stacks around artificial intelligence and machine learning, the Ramco Aviation Suite has been helping companies embrace paperless operations and embark on digital transformation. We are happy to support Air Asia Company Limited in its endeavour and help it scale to greater heights.”
