PREDICT THE FUTURE, OPTIMIZE YOUR MAINTENANCE STRATEGY With Aerogility, leading aerospace companies and airline operators can quickly and easily deliver accurate MRO forecasts and maintenance schedules for entire fleet operations. There has never been a more The software enables you to predict the future status challenging time to be in civil aviation. of your fleet under multiple scenarios and optimize Today, every operator must be able to your maintenance strategies and plans accordingly. maximize availability while minimizing It means you can achieve greater maintenance costs. There is little room for error. productivity, better manage costs and increase aircraft and seat availability for your customers. A key focus for forward-thinking airlines is their MRO operation. Traditionally, this has involved a slow, largely manual planning process with too many spreadsheets and taking too much time. It’s an approach that’s no longer fit for purpose in today’s dynamic environment. Fortunately, there is an alternative: the AI-based Aerogility maintenance planning and predictive analytics solution.
RUN ACCURATE SIMULATIONS OF YOUR ENTIRE FLEET Civil aircraft cost millions to purchase or lease and maintain over decades of operational life. But until now, predicting future maintenance and engineering requirements for a fleet of aircraft has been a difficult, time-consuming challenge — and very easy to get wrong. Today’s fleet managers and planners must resolve future uncertainty and create accurate forecasts. They must optimize maintenance and engineering programs to ensure future aircraft “Aerogility has given us and seat availability, and predict costs with the ability to look into the confidence. And they must be able to achieve this across a multi-decade timespan where a long-term maintenance wide range of changing factors may impact their plans. planning of our fleet with Aerogility solves this problem with advanced the capability to not only software simulation technology covering the make a late change to the entire fleet operations and supporting maintenance organization. plan but at the same time With Aerogility, you can fly the fleet forward understand the impact of over any selected timeframe. This will accurately that decision operationally simulate aircraft utilization and determine the effects on airframes plus the major installed and economically.” systems. It means you can predict precisely when maintenance events must take place.

HOW AEROGILITY WORKS FOR CIVIL AVIATION Explore what-if scenarios to evaluate different strategies With Aerogility, ROI is rapid – you will begin Aerogility is not a ‘black box’ solution. You can to benefit after just a few hours training. You’ll clearly see how different options are created be able to quickly end your reliance on slow, and work through alternative approaches. unwieldy spreadsheets and start creating powerful what-if scenarios. Simulations can be scheduled to run automatically, triggered by new data, and In a few mouse clicks you’ll be able to resolve generate a regular ‘Service Outlook’ report for a range of complex decisions, operational distribution to the management team. tactics and longer-term strategies.
