ARMONK (dpa-AFX) - IBM (IBM) announced Wednesday that it has collaborated with Japan Airlines to jointly develop IBM MobileFirst for iOS apps - Inspect & Turn and Assign Tech. It would support on-time arrivals, departures, and significantly improves efficiency for aircraft maintenance engineers.
Inspect & Turn allows engineers real-time access to all the relevant data from JAL systems of record. Assign Tech enables aircraft engineer supervisors to better prepare for each maintenance task by utilizing analytics on repair times, required parts and tools, and information collected in-flight.
Using iPad Pro and iPhone, aircraft engineers have access to tools and processes that allow them to expedite repairs and modifications to the aircraft
The IBM MobileFirst for iOS apps eliminate manual-based processes and reduces time spent on preparing and reporting technical issues. Aircraft engineers at JAL are now able to focus on identifying higher-level issues by saving time on routine maintenance checks.
