Aviation Maintenance: An MRO Company’s Pursuit of Excellence

The Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector is currently navigating two critical challenges: enhancing productivity to reduce cost and increasing safety awareness to decrease the incidence of accidents. The significance of safety and productivity in aviation maintenance cannot be overstated.

Against this backdrop, Aicadium has partnered with a leading Singapore-based MRO company to usher in a new era of refined aviation maintenance practices. This collaboration melds Aicadium’s AI and data analytics expertise with the MRO company’s focus on a safe working environment and operational efficiency. This innovative initiative promises a paradigm shift in aircraft maintenance by employing computer vision technology, which is adept at converting raw image and video data into actionable insights to ensure a safer and more efficient workplace.

Areas of focus

Aicadium’s AI-powered computer vision solution enhances the capabilities of the existing hardware infrastructure within the MRO facility. By integrating with current surveillance systems, it extends from visual data capture to a comprehensive suite encompassing modeling, data analytics, and data visualisation. Aicadium View extracted footage and images, deploying sophisticated analysis to deliver practical, actionable insights, marking a significant stride in the evolution of MRO operations.

Aicadium View empowers the Base Maintenance Division (BMD) manager with advanced technology and data-driven insights to effectively identify root causes of unproductive processes.

Productivity optimisation

Efficiency and productivity are paramount in the highly competitive aviation industry. By streamlining maintenance and repair processes, downtime is minimised, and aircraft availability is maximised, serving customer demands and cost savings.
