  • Building technical links to allow Safran's engine information including configuration, hours, and events to be directly loaded into Ramco Aviation Software
  • Defining joint business processes to ensure reliable and continuous two-way data flow between Safran and Ramco
  • Joint evaluation of data exchange formats and establishment of operational processes to ensure ongoing compatibility

Expected Operational Benefits

For helicopter operators, the partnership is expected to:

  • Reduce manual data entry requirements
  • Improve data accuracy and consistency across maintenance operations
  • Reduce time and effort required for engine data initialization within the MIS
  • Improve structure, quality, and consistency of data supporting airworthiness and maintenance planning
  • Allow operators to focus more on keeping aircraft in service

Certification Outcome

The outcome of this collaboration will be the award by Safran Helicopter Engines of the EngineLife® Connect label, which identifies the best connectivity solutions compatible with its range of products and services.
