GE Digital today announced that Kalitta Air is the latest cargo
airline to purchase the company’s Asset Records® software to
streamline and simplify aircraft records and asset documentation.
Asset Records is designed to makes it easier for operators to
streamline records management. With a single, cloud-based solution,
operators can digitize, index, and archive maintenance records,
connect the records and data of internal and external operations,
facilitate documentation between airlines and lessors, and help
match maintenance records to the relevant M&E (Maintenance
& Engineering) system.
Kalitta Air, based in Ypsilanti, Michigan has a very large
Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) division where they
overhaul, engines, airframes, and landing gear. They are deploying
GE Digital’s Asset Transfer System® (ATS), a part of the Asset
Records software suite, in a first-of-its-kind application to
manage their external work, customized to fit the engine modules
that the company overhauls. After the 80-day overhaul of an engine,
the completed records have to be sent to the airline that owns the
asset, so they have the records for their compliance needs.
Asset Transfer System helps streamline and simplify the way
leased asset documentation is managed between airlines, lessors,
and MROs. With two modules, records management and project
management, users can drive efficiency throughout the leased asset
lifecycle while assisting in compliance documentation.
“Kalitta is a dynamic organization with a huge heart and a
well-disciplined work force, who deliver a top-shelf, quality
product day in and day out. Moving to digital is key for our
business because it helps us to speed the time to audit,” said
Christopher Barks, Director of Quality for Kalitta Air. “GE Digital
integration experts were critical enabling the digital flow with
our Technical Operations and they did it fast. Implementation was
done in eight weeks, when we were expecting 16 to 20 weeks.”
Key to the airline’s choice of ATS was support for e-signature
and the ability to use tablets for data entry which is more
efficient for getting data into the system. A specific goal is to
go paperless, which is a key feature of the Asset Records,
organizing all existing documents as part of a complete
implementation. The software also allows for additional integration
with external asset and contract software solutions.
“The Kalitta team has the desire, willingness, and ability to
accomplish just about any task,” said Andrew Coleman, General
Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software business. “They are known
for using high-end technology to meet the needs of their customers,
so we are honored that they are pioneering the use of our Asset
Records software to meet the needs of their unique
application.”
