Appropriate maintenance of aircraft and aircraft parts is critical for safe and successful airline operation. The hangar is a huge area where maintenance and repair services are undertaken. A reliable and secure service requires utilization of stable and trustworthy electronic devices, which speed up the routine jobs and ensure they are done successfully irrespective of the prevailing weather conditions.
Challenge
Croatia Airlines Technical Services in Croatia is involved in aircraft maintenance checks, maintenance, and repair. For utmost safety of crew, pilots and passengers and smooth flight operation, the aircraft and aircraft parts need to be in optimal condition. The technicians needed a device that could function efficiently in their work environment facilitating them to complete their services effectively.
Aircraft maintenance involves checks, maintenance and repairs all of which need to meet with standard operation procedures. This included carrying around huge amount of paperwork, while doing the maintenance work. In the absence of an appropriate device, the technicians need to make several trips up and down the aircraft to check on the faults, access materials, and documents on the repair process. With the Getac Rugged F110 tablet, they can know the issues reported beforehand and hence make a single trip to get the faults fixed. Further, the reports of the completed work have to be printed after the technicians returned to the office. The entire process thus consumed plenty of time making the job complicated and susceptible to inaccuracies.
