Motulus: Integrated Crew Scheduling

Reduce operational costs, improve crew satisfaction whilst operating a smooth schedule

For many airlines operating costs, fuel and crew costs form a significant part of their cost base. The delivery of an efficient and robust plan whilst continuing to guarantee an excellent customer offering and employee satisfaction is critical to an airline’s success, The complexity of such a plan, and its importance to an organisation makes creating schedules and operational plans ideal candidates to be solved by optimization.

At Motulus.aero we enjoy solving problems that haven’t been solved before by deploying the next generation in optimization products. By combining pioneering algorithms with the power of cloud computing we can tackle these complex and large-scale problems.

Specialising in crew scheduling (pairing and roster production), tail assignment and network optimization we help organisations to:

– reduce crew costs
– increase aircraft and equipment utilisation
– reduce fuel and operational costs
– improve revenue opportunities
– increase crew and colleague satisfactions
– improve operational robustness

Innovations

Motulus Integrated Crew Scheduling (MICS)                   

MICS is a pioneering optimization product that generates crew pairings and crew rosters in one optimization run.

Motulus Tail Assignment (MTA)    

MTA allocates aircraft to flights by looking for the best solution to reduce costs (e.g. fuel) and provide operational stability.

Motulus Network Optimization (MNO)                                                                  

MNO answers the question of when to fly where. Combining aircraft, crew, and yield inputs, it generates the optimal solution.

Based in Antwerp, Belgium, Motulus.aero were formed in 2018 by a team with deep expertise in mathematics and software development, who particularly focus on building groundbreaking optimization products. Having deployed products to a number of industries Motulus had an original mission in aviation to develop innovative products for airline crew resource scheduling problem.

Flight Planning & Dispatch Sub-System, V2 (ARMS® – FPDS)

Centralized and Remote Flight Dispatch
ARMS® FPDS provides accurate and optimized flight plans to enable reduced contingency dispatch, bringing in fuel savings. You may customize the CFP output format to your operating crew’s convenience and specific needs. ARMS® FPDS produces a complete “Trip Kit” which has CFP (including ETOPS CFP), FPL, Filtered NOTAMs, Weather Briefing, etc., which may be printed or transmitted to EFB or LPC systems.


Being an integral component of ARMS®, it seamlessly shares Flight Planning information and data with the other sub-systems of ARMS® V2, wherever required.

Modules & Functionalities:

  • Computerized Flight Planning (CFP) – including ETOPS
  • Load & Trim (L&T) – for Cargo & Passenger Aircraft
  • Pre-Flight Documentation (PFD) – filing of FPL/ RPL, Euro Clearance, etc.
  • Aircrew Self-Briefing (ASB) – Web-based
  • Additional subscription services to other FPDS Databases:-  
    Navigation (NavDB)
    Weather (MetDB)
    NOTAM (NotDB)
    Aircraft Performance (AcDB)

Aviation Charting Service


Aeronautical Chart Data Display & Chart Rendering Toolset
Aviation Charting Service (ACS) is designed for application developers wishing to add an aeronautical chart display—based on ARINC 424 data—to their application. The toolset renders ARINC 424 data as vector elements from a SQLite database, minimizing the footprint of the data and increasing load times. ACS also supports raster tiles for the display of cultural, terrain, or weather data. As part of the ACS service, customers can choose to subscribe to the converted ARINC 424 data from Eagle Cap Software, or use your existing subscription and our data converter.
