10 May 2019: Magnetic MRO has launched Interior Inspector a new service which connects airline workers and maintenance teams in logging damages found in the passenger cabin of a commercial airliner.
The company is continuously working on finding new ways to address problems that hinder the industry's growth and development. One of such problems has been logging, handing over and saving the data of damages which take place in aircraft interiors.
"During interior inspections for our customers, we quickly understood that pen and paper is not the way to go," said Partel-Peeter Kruuv Magnetic MRO's Interior Project Manager. "We need a tool that connects found damages and pictures or notes taken on a specific location, and combines that in a user-friendly system that would only need a short tutorial to be used. That was the moment when the initial idea behind our inspection application got formulated. By now, we have named it Interior Inspector."
The Interior Inspector is an application that permits the cabin crew or dedicated mechanics to log whichever kind of damages or findings in the passenger cabin of commercial airliner. The application will work on smartphones, tablets and regular PCs.
Kruuv said, "Our findings so far are mostly problems that could easily be solved during over-night stays, such as pen-stripes, worn placards, small stains or broken recliners."
In future, Magnetic MRO will be introducing the application to the company's customers as a service to start collecting data on how Interior Inspector is used in commercial airlines. The collected data will be used by the developers to improve the application even further.
