Infosys Mobility Solution for MRO

Use of handheld devices to support various processes in aero industry is becoming more popular, driven by focus on increasing productivity and reducing costs through automation. Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) is a key area for mobile device usage in order to reduce non-productive and non-value added efforts, thereby significantly improving upon the job comfort, efficiency and productivity.

At the moment most of the MRO processes are enabled on desktops, laptops and vehicle mount devices. Very few MRO processes are enabled on wireless handheld devices. Handheld devices are used mostly to provide real time access to technical information which is a priority area in MRO operations. In some cases handheld devices are used to log inspection data.

There is significant potential for enabling key business processes on handheld devices in order to improve the overall productivity, efficiency and to prevent significant time and revenue losses to the airlines. Some of the key areas to be considered are dynamic resource and manpower allocation, work force automation, logging maintenance and repair data, customer relationship, material management, supply chain management and sales operations among others.

Time and cost benefits can be realized through better coordination, communication, on-time and proactive actions, client satisfaction and overall improved utilization of staff, assets and working capital. However it is a challenging job to implement these features on handheld devices in a cost effective and time bound manner. Infosys mobility platform offers a cost effective and speedy implementation.
