02

Improved Safety

Let robots handle the risky, repetitive tasks.

03

Cost Savings

Fewer errors, less rework, lower labor cost.

04

Innovation

Set new standards for Aviation precision.

05

Consistency

The same accurate result, every time.

06

Increased Flexibility

Scale and adapt automation to demand.

Facing any of these challenges?

Pain points

Tedious logistics data entry and shipping inefficiencies

Aviation & MROs must record weight and dimensions for logistics purposes. This manual data-entry requirement introduces inefficiencies into the shipping process, making it challenging to streamline operations.

Duplicated efforts in manual customer repair-order entry

MROs face duplicated efforts identifying and rectifying paperwork mismatches. Manually entering customer repair orders (addresses, part numbers, serial numbers, fault descriptions, condition, cycle times, etc.) leads to data-entry errors and administrative burden.

Snagged units in Quarantine backlog

The receiving process often leaves units snagged and abandoned in the Quarantine cage due to discrepancies between Purchase Orders (POs) and Repair Orders (ROs), causing delays and operational bottlenecks.

How we solve it

Implement an automated logistics data-entry system that uses robotics and IoT-enabled sensors to capture weight and dimensions — reducing manual data entry and improving shipping efficiency.

Implement integrated systems — barcode scanning/RFID or paperless applications — that automate the customer repair-order entry process, ensuring accuracy and reducing administrative workload.

Implement a robust reconciliation process and digital tools to proactively identify and resolve PO/RO discrepancies during receiving — reducing the backlog of snagged units in Quarantine, with alerts and notifications to account managers to unblock units through prompt customer communication.

Workflow Automation & Robotics FAQs

It combines robotic process automation (RPA) and physical robotics to perform repetitive MRO tasks automatically — eliminating bottlenecks and errors while freeing technicians for complex work.

Robotics handles physical tasks like robot-assisted inspections; RPA automates digital, repetitive processes like data entry and repair-order handling. Together they streamline both the shopfloor and the back office.

Logistics data entry (weight and dimensions), customer repair-order entry, robot-assisted inspections, and PO/RO reconciliation at receiving — among others.
