ASQS and Lufthansa Industry Solutions Unveil Revolutionary Ai Co-Validator:A Game-Changer for Aviation Report Processing

ASQS, a leading global provider of integrated aviation Quality and Safety Management solutions is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest feature – the iQSMS Ai Co-Validator. Developed in close cooperation with Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND), a renowned IT service provider specializing in digital transformation, the Ai Co-Validator promises to radically transform the way organizations process large volumes of incoming reports.

Leveraging ASQS’ expertise in aviation safety and risk management and Lufthansa Industry Solutions’ understanding of complex IT landscapes, system integration capabilities as well as a shared passion for innovation, the Ai Co-Validator optimizes the processing of reports with the help of artificial intelligence and thus contributes to a significant increase in productivity in aviation organizations.

QOCO Systems launches Assignment – a revolutionary MRO solution that combines HR, maintenance planning, and flight ops systems into one interface

The innovative solution allows airlines and MROs to increase staff utilization and improve fleet availability while eliminating human error in maintenance planning processes. Assignment enables planners to adjust quickly to changes in flight schedules and staff availability, reducing delays and fleet downtime.

ESPOO, Finland (March 19th, 2024)QOCO Systems, a leading provider of aviation software solutions, has today announced the launch of its latest innovation, MROTools.io – Assignment. Developed in collaboration with leading industry operators, Assignment is a modern, reliable, and cost-efficient solution that combines three separate modules currently used in maintenance planning – HR, maintenance, and flight ops systems – into one easy-to-use interface.

“Aircraft maintenance operations require simultaneous management of several complex processes. With Assignment, we wanted to make them significantly more manageable by combining all the necessary data and controls into one intuitive interface,” says Ilari Neitola, Founder of QOCO Systems. “Instead of scrolling through spreadsheets for personnel availability information, jumping to the maintenance management system for the right plans and at the same time keeping an eye on flight data in case of delays, maintenance planners can access all relevant features with one tool.”

By automating several aspects of staff planning, Assignment reduces the workload of planners and eliminates the need for manual, repetitive tasks. The solution eliminates human error by minimizing manual intervention in the planning process, which can significantly improve the reliability of the planning process and ensure that all staff members are assigned tasks in a fair and efficient manner.

Assignment also accelerates decision-making and thereby enables planners to quickly respond to changes in staff availability, maintenance schedules, and flight operations. This can help airlines to increase fleet availability and reduce delays and downtime, improving overall cost-efficiency. In 2023, over 70% of flight delays in the US were caused by the aircraft arriving late or carrier-related issues such as staff shortages or maintenance. The costs of delays for airlines are estimated to reach billions of euros annually.

“When a flight is delayed, it may be necessary to replan staffing due to personnel availability,” Ilari Neitola explains. “If this is done inefficiently, with outdated methods and software resources, it can easily cause further delays, creating a domino effect. Every wasted minute is costly for flight operators. With Assignment, we aim to streamline aircraft maintenance operations so that they can reduce those delays instead of increasing them.”

MROTools.io – Assignment is available starting from March 19th, 2024.
