Aircraft maintenance software

In aeronautics, the Management Information System (MIS) is the foundation for aircraft configuration, regulatory data, visit planning, and operations monitoring. It’s critical to compliance, traceability, and cost-effective maintenance. 

Yet there’s a critical link between scheduled planning in the MIS and ensuring the practical execution of work. Effective execution. requires operational preparation, seamless access to information in the field, and optimal coordination of resources. 

Fingermind is the one solution that ensures that your MIS data is reflected in practical on-the-ground execution. 

The Management Information System (MIS) is a key component of the aircraft maintenance industry.

It is a centralized information system whose main function is to collect, consolidate and analyze technical, operational, and financial data, to support the decision-making of technical managers and managers.

In MRO environment, the MIS makes it possible to :

• Monitor the operational performance of flight operations (aircraft availability rate, downtime).
• Lead aircraft maintenance, including failure tracking, inspection planning, Work Orders/Work Packages management, and regulatory compliance.
• Control operating costs and optimize the management of human, material, and logistical resources.

By transforming raw data into key performance indicators (KPIs) and actionable dashboards, MIS directly contributes to improving operational efficiency, enhancing safety, and optimizing overall performance for aerospace companies.

The main MISs in the market are AMOS, Ramco, Trax, MXI, UltiMAINT, Veryon covering the majority of airline and MRO maintenance environments.

In more detail about our maintenance solutions, the MIS stores the configuration of the aircraft, all the maintenance operations to conduct and helps the planning of maintenance visits.

Planning for a specific aircraft is based on :

• Regulatory data provided (SB-Service Bulletin) by the manufacturer (Airbus, Boeing)
• Data provided (AD-Airworthiness Directive) by the regulatory authority (EASA, FAA)
• Estimates of the number of cycles (landing, takeoff), the number of hours between two visits
• Of a calendar duration.

Maintenance operations planning consists of providing the maintenance workshop with all the maintenance tasks to be executed and for each task, the list of resources, the list of spare parts, as well as the estimated workload.

The MIS also stores a report on the execution of the various tasks.

Your MIS multi-fleet software for aviation consolidates and analyzes technical, operational, and financial data and supports the decision-making so you know what to plan for. 

Use your MIS data optimally and your maintenance workshop will have all it needs around maintenance tasks to be executed and for each task, the list of resources, the list of spare parts, as well as the estimated workload. 

Fingermind does not replace your MIS. It integrates closely with your MIS to support fast, efficient, accurate on-the-ground execution of MRO tasks. 

Fingermind MRO software for airlines integrates with the MIS to retrieve work orders (work packages), either automatically via API interfaces or files, or by manual entry. Work packages provide a high-level description of the tasks to be performed, based on maintenance references, without including detailed operational content. 

Our software then enriches work packages by automatically retrieving all the detailed instructions necessary for the execution of the tasks from its technical databases. 

Our JobCard Publisher makes it possible to produce job cards in paper format, grouping together all the tasks to be carried out.

It’s displayed in a simple layout that complies with MRO requirements, with the different signature columns for the execution, inspection, and certification of the work. 

MRO teams have immediate access to detailed knowledge of all the data associated with job cards: including necessary skills, spare parts, special tools, consumables, workload, and operational constraints. 

The Fingermind eJobCard helps manage and propose optimizations for the allocation of resources during a shift. 

Teams can see the required allocation for mechanics, spare parts, special tools and consumables, based on skills, availability, and workload. 

It also offers direct data access to mechanics, from their tablet to all the tasks to be accomplished, with the possibility of filling in and signing job cards electronically, directly in the field. 

Once field tasks are completed, Fingermind returns updated information to your MIS. That includes the tasks successfully completed, the time spent on any field observations – and all the sign-off signatures.  

The nature of this feedback depends on the level of integration with the MIS: 

• Via API, for automatic and real-time synchronization 
• Via files, for batch or deferred integration 
• Via manual processes, when the MIS does not allow for automated integration 

Your MIS defines and plans work orders, deadlines, and regulatory constraints - Fingermind takes care of the detailed preparation of tasks, their execution in the field, as well as the optimization of resources to improve operational efficiency and overall maintenance performance. 

This flexibility ensures data continuity, full traceability of maintenance operations, and reliable updating of the central maintenance system, regardless of the multi-fleet software for aviation in use. 

Integrating your MIS with Fingermind improves digitalization of aircraft maintenance, traceability, data reliability, and the overall efficiency of aircraft maintenance operations. 

The MIS ensures the planning of maintenance, while Fingermind intervenes in the execution and operational optimization of the work.

The MIS defines and plans work orders, deadlines and regulatory constraints, while Fingermind takes care of the detailed preparation of tasks, their execution in the field, as well as the optimization of resources (mechanics, spare parts, special tools and consumables) in order to improve operational efficiency and overall maintenance performance.
