- Asset Records software streamlines aircraft documentation
management allowing operators to digitize, index, and archive all
maintenance records
- Use of QR code technology allows airline to seamlessly connect
the records and data of internal and external IT platforms
GE Digital today announced that Connect Airlines has chosen
asset records management software to streamline the new airline’s
management of maintenance work orders and help them to achieve a
smarter, near paperless operation within their first year of
operation. The operator will be the first airline operator to use
unique QR code technology to speed adoption and connection to other
tools and platforms within their operations.
Connect Airlines is a new regional airline based in the Greater
Boston, Massachusetts area and part of Waltzing Matilda Aviation, a
fast-growing private jet operator. Connect Airlines is starting its
service with daily flights from Toronto, Canada to Philadelphia,
and Chicago’s O’Hare airport.
GE Digital’s asset records management software, Asset Records®,
is designed to help operators to streamline aircraft records
management. With cloud-based solutions, operators can digitize,
index, and archive all maintenance records as well as effectively
connect the records and data of internal and external IT platforms
making them easily accessible for record search, administration,
support, and processing.
Asset Records is a robust records management system that manages
all the documents associated with aircraft lifecycle. Powered by
Microsoft® Azure’s technology, it requires minimal IT
infrastructure: organizations can simply connect through secure
web-based access. Asset Records is ideal for anyone that needs
better solutions for maintaining service records for their
aircraft, whether owners, operators, lessors, or MROs.
“The GE Digital Asset Records software will allow us to
organize, view, search, retrieve, download and transfer documents
digitally to facilitate regulatory compliance within the leasing
industry accepted ATA SPEC 2500 document structure,” said Dave
Marcontell, Chief Operating Officer for Connect Airlines. “The
modern, forward-thinking use of QR codes to transfer data among
different IT platforms is meeting our objective to operate smarter
and with a light footprint; critical for managing costs and
compliance for a rapidly growing airline.”
The project management module within the system enables users to
create aircraft transaction projects, view dashboards to see
project status, view status of multiple projects in parallel, and
interactively manage the lessor checklist status of required
documentation. The module has a modern interface that will provide
clear identification of stakeholders, documentation management
status, and a digital master issues list to give an “at a glance”
view of the project. Included in the tool is an administration
module that provides users the ability to manage permissions,
assets, and checklists.
“Our software enables customers like Connect Airlines to make
data-driven decisions regarding real-time fleet health,” said
Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software
business. “From the airport to the back office, and everything in
between, our software gives customers access to the data and
expertise needed to run a successful world class operation.”
