Advanced Air

The site objective was to improve delivery times of custom built aircraft parts to U.S. military and large commercial airlines. The site consists of 8 public pages and more than 20,000 privates pages which fulfil the design mission. A proprietary data base and data entry system was built to allow each customer a secure, password protected area which presents over 70 part dimensions and specs. Specifications and blueprint information can be updated in real time, or the customers can deviate dimensions for required parts. Data is transmitted directly from the overhaul shop to the manufacturing facility and then fed into automated milling machines for near immediate fabrication.

Prior to deployment of the site, these parts were often subject to a 2-3 week process which involved repeated handling (and potential errors) of the same information. This has been transformed into a system that delivers finished parts worldwide within 72 hours of the original entry by the overhaul mechanic. System automation has delivered solid ROI for AA Bushings along with significant improvements in their product delivery time. The site was featured in Aviation Week magazine as an example of new technology improving the aircraft industry
