Introduction and Major Customers Cases
Seabury
Solutions digital transformation platform consists of an integrated product
range that covers maintenance repair & overhaul (MRO) and airline technical
operations, regulators, and a range of performance analysis tools within the
EPAS suite.
Alkym
– Aviation MRO Professional Solution
Alkym
started as a small software developed by its own needs in the organization
responsible for maintenance in the airline, and the technicians with related
technologies established a separate company to develop the software in earnest
to become an aviation MRO solution. Alkym has been designed and developed from
the ground up to provide a holistic and integrated approach to aviation
maintenance and engineering management, increasing operational and maintenance
effectiveness for operators and maintenance companies, observing industry
regulations, and maximizing annual performance efficiency, based on business
knowledge and work methods.
Alkym
differentiates itself from traditional MRO solutions based on ERP, enabling
traditional heterogeneous functions such as engineering, maintenance, and
materials to be integrated to manage information and processes according to the
characteristics of MRO business, making work more efficient, integrating
processes, and utilizing new technologies. It provides an effective base
environment to strengthen the innovation activities of the company. Besides,
Alkym is strategically designed to integrate with key ERP systems that provide
the core elements of the enterprise for the management of financial, human
resources, contracts, and customer relationships. Through this, customers with
ERP can maximize the return on investment.
Key
Features of Alkym:
–
Rule-based regulation compliance
–
Flexible process change response based on workflow
–
Maintenance data analysis based on historical data/support for decision making
–
Maintenance plan simulation considering available resources
–
Maximize resource utilization through shift-management
–
Efficient non-routine management
–
Rule-based parts / purchase / warehouse management
-Technical
publication configuration management
-Production
site contact management through mobile app
-Automatic
creation of standard documents in the MRO field
-Automatic
input of large data using Excel
Alkym
is designed to increase the maintenance efficiency of airlines, specialized
MROs and military maintenance organizations, and is operating in more than 85
companies in 45 countries around the world. In Korea, Air Busan, the largest
low-cost airline in Korea, and KAEMS, Korea’s first professional MRO company, currently
run their maintenance operation with Alkym.
KAEMS
received accreditation for the Maintenance Organization (AMO) and Aviation
Safety Management System (SMS) from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and
Transport in November 2018, and maintenance facilities, equipment and tools,
personnel, and personnel from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
for the B737 in 2019. As a result of undergoing examinations in all areas,
including the education system, the company acquired FAA certification for the
RSQM (Repair Station Quality Manual), the Training and Training Program (TPM),
and the maintenance contract list. An article in the Kookmin Ilbo (Sep. 19,
2019, reporter Jeong Kun-hee) said, “Especially, efforts to establish a
training program to secure a mechanic’s competency and implement a professional
MRO system that computerized maintenance documents, material management, and
repair records played an important role in certification. ” The “professional
MRO system” mentioned here is the result of integrating Seabury Solutions’
Alkym and Duzon Bizon’s ERP system based on KAEMS’s expertise in aviation
maintenance.
In
early 2019, Air Busan completed the implementation of Alkym, the first aviation
maintenance solution among domestic low-cost airlines. The safety and
efficiency of Air Busan’s aviation maintenance has been greatly improved
through the establishment of aviation maintenance/logistics/personnel modules
that apply international standards and processes. In addition, through the
joint development with legacy systems such as FOS (Flight Operation System),
ERP, and human resources systems, it was possible to obtain the effect of
contributing to the automation of digital processes in the company-wide aspects
such as flight/finance/accounting.
Enterprise
Performance Analysis System (EPAS) is a performance analysis and optimization
support solution that can analyze the performance of airline routes,
maintenance, contracts and invoices, budget planning, fuel planning and ticket
distribution channels. The world’s largest airlines have been operating EPAS as
their performance analysis system such as Southwest, American Airlines, Delta,
West Jet and Aero Mexico.
Business
Portal eAuthority for Regulators and Regulated Companies
eAuthority
is developed to support regulatory oversight in aviation regulators, airports,
and defense, inspired by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and FAA regulations to guide the
aviation regulatory oversight process. By digitizing, it not only increases the
work efficiency of supervisors and related companies, but also provides
information which is necessary for decision-making in real-time to executives
of companies through a multi-platform dashboard. In the future, regulators will
increasingly require digital inspections, so eAuthority allows users to perform
paperless inspections, reducing inspection cycles by about 80%. Since 2019, at
Civil Aviation Authorities such as Bermuda, Argentina, Venezuela, Mauritius,
St. Martin, eAuthority implementation project is underway.
Key
features of eAuthority (mostly available in offline environment)
–
Create new audit work and manage existing history

Major
Technology Trends and Issues in the Aircraft MRO IT Industry
The
aviation MRO industry handles more than 25 billion parts per year and
systematically manages the maintenance history and parts history of the
aircraft to guarantee the safety of the aircraft. It provides common data in a
safe way without giving up control over data There is an opinion that sharing
and recording is essential to promote new efficiency in the industry. Due to
these demands, the event organized by Haeco Group, a specialist in aircraft
maintenance and engineering, was the first to announce the idea of
constructing a blockchain alliance for aviation MROs, and Bolloré Logistics,
Cathay, which currently operates the MRO business internationally. Pacific,
FLYdocs and SITA, as well as software companies Ramco Systems and Willis Lease
Finance Corporation and law firms Clyde & Co, are joining the coalition. The
ICAO Blockchain Aviation Summit held in Abu Dhabi in April 2019 is an event
hosted by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) to support safe and
economical civil aviation systems by applying blockchain technology.
A
report from PwC Global said blockchain technology can save about 5% of the
total cost of the aviation MRO business (about $ 3.5 billion) and suggested
that it could boost the aerospace industry’s profits by up to $ 40 billion.
In
the field of aircraft maintenance education, interest in augmented reality and
virtual reality is growing. This technology allows trainees to participate more
actively in training and to better understand how the aircraft system works,
which makes it easier to apply the training to the field. However, in order to
apply virtual reality and augmented reality technologies to the field of
aviation maintenance and maintenance, it is necessary to research restrictions
and accreditation related to certification and regulation.
Prospect
of Korea Branch
The
current market is being hit unprecedentedly by COVID-19. Although most of the
world’s passenger operations have almost stopped, the airline industry will
gradually rebound as it did in the past. As many airlines and related companies
are expected to close or merge and acquisition in this process, the
introduction of professional solutions through ICT will play an important role
in improving customer service and work environment and maximizing efficiency
and profitability.
Seabury
Solutions’ Asia subsidiary, Seabury Solutions Inc., was founded in March 2020
and started in the civil aviation field solution business, leading the implementation
of the defense MRO system and expanding into China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand
based in Korea. Also, based on the know-how accumulated in the aviation field
and modularized software products, it is planning to expand the solution to the
railroad vehicle maintenance as well as the integrated management of nuclear
dismantling work.
