Technology Category	Functional Applications - Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) Functional Applications - Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAM)
Applicable Industries	Aerospace Construction & Infrastructure
Applicable Functions	Maintenance Quality Assurance
Use Cases	Asset Health Management (AHM) Asset Lifecycle Management
Services	System Integration Testing & Certification
Challenge	Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) was faced with the challenge of managing over 2 million records related to its $16B USD fleet of 425 advanced Boeing, ATR, and Airbus aircraft leased to more than 108 operators in 52 countries. The sheer volume of maintenance documentation, compliance, inspection audits, and lease transfers with airline customers was overwhelming. The data was siloed across multiple systems or locations, creating bottlenecks and inefficiencies, which impacted the delivery of information to customers. DAE had digitized part of its information, but the platform was outdated and discontinued in terms of future development and support. This meant more time and effort required to respond to customers with accurate information. Additionally, the security of hundreds of thousands of paper records was at risk in the event of a disaster such as a flood or fire. Read More

Impact #1	The implementation of GE Digital’s Asset Transfer System (ATS) has streamlined DAE's processes and improved customer service. The system has been used to maintain checklists, manage permissions, search and retrieve documents, and share and transfer large packages of documents. Project management functions have been streamlined for every kind of asset transition. For the sales and trading team members, pre-configured checklists make opening a new project fast and easy. The status of an active job can be easily checked, with details about asset returns, stakeholder information, and overall project progress available in a concise view. Once all documentation is captured, the records package is transferred securely and seamlessly to DAE customers. The team is also digitizing archival data around previously owned aircraft for insurers and audit purposes.
