OREANDA-NEWS. GMCS company started to develop mobile applications for tablets, intended for publication and collection of data on complex products (aviation, marine and rail transport). This application will allow producers to organize and automate the processes of formation, provision to the customer and update of the electronic version of the product form. For the user the application automates management processes of relevant product information: access to information about the product and its resources, the registration of use, replacement units, failures and deviations in the product and its components.

Development of mobile applications is the part of GMCS’ practice in the automation of aftersales service process of a complex technology. The base of product data for a prototype of the mobile application was selected ERP-system Oracle E-Business Suite, including specialized MRO-solution - Oracle cMRO (Oracle Complex Maintenance Repair and Overhaul). The source of data can be used PLM, MRO and ERP-systems from other vendors. Source selection depends on the customer's IT architecture. After the processing of data, the application creates a file that can be set with the standard options for mobile device. For the prototype application it was chosen a mobile platform Android as the most common and available for devices in a secure execution.

"The mobile application is developed by us to meet the requirements of the aircraft market, the requirements of the Russian and international standards in the development of electronic documents, software development and information security - says Anton Vaganov, Director of Oracle products Department, the company GMCS. - Today, we have accumulated all the experience in the automation of MRO, and the development of mobile applications, have formed our own competence center, which now has begun to work on the project of creating a mobile application "e-form."

The main functions of the prototype "Electronic Form": products configuration management (hierarchical view of the aircraft, display of the information about the product and its features, advanced search, the formation of notes) to create and display the comments in the component work, MRO plans, registration of operating time, user rights management.

"We plan to complete the development of a prototype mobile application this summer and in the fall we will be able to offer the cooperation in the development of new applications to our partners," - adds Anton Vaganov.

As a prospective direction for mobile applications GMCS sees opportunities to read data from on-board recording devices, determining the position of the aircraft on the ground and in space, move the record with reference to maps, to the GPS, GLONASS or aircraft navigation equipment, the formation of a mobile application with an application for logistics support.
