Maintenance and Operations

3D MRO Solutions

Anark’s interactive Maintenance and Operations Solutions provide a 3D-centric application to identify equipment and maintenance information during repair and operations. These advanced 3D solutions ease navigation and provide rich information for making quick and accurate decisions. This enhanced environment can significantly increase workforce efficiency, reduce overall maintenance costs, and provide higher quality equipment repair.

The Industry Problem:

  • High cost of maintenance operations: Inefficient tools and processes drive up maintenance costs.
  • Current technical maintenance materials are inefficient: Time consuming searching of Paper, PDF, and Online Documents for troubleshooting and maintenance activity results in greater cost and less effective equipment maintenance.
  • High maintenance support costs: The development and updating of maintenance information is often done through non-repeatable, manual content creation processes that drive up support costs.
  • Reoccurring compliance and safety problems: If your mechanics are not provided easy interfaces, up-to-date data, and integrated solutions, costly mistakes can happen.
  • Increasing competition for maintenance contracts: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are continually losing market share to third party maintenance providers.

Anark’s 3D Maintenance and Operation Solution enables the utilization of your proprietary Intellectual Property to increase your competitiveness in the aftermarket business arena by providing a superior customer solution.

  • 3D Equipment Interface: Repurpose engineering data to create interactive 3D applications that will improve operational efficiency.
    • Equipment Review – Detailed 3D view of equipment, assemblies, and parts: zoom, pan, rotate, view assembly structure, center, select parts and assemblies.
    • 3D Navigation/Maintenance Front-End – Interactive Equipment provides the best navigation tool for viewing and identifying parts and associated data.
    • Fly-To Part Identification - Type in a part number, fly to the part on the equipment, in interactive 3D.
  • 3D Troubleshooting Interface: 3D can simulate equipment problems, allowing customers/services centers to visually train on solving problems before they occur.
    • View Faults - Show equipment faults, problems, or out of compliance visuals.
    • Resolve Faults - Show the best technique for identification, fault resolution, and maintenance.
  • On-Demand, Automatic Graphic and Content Generation: Anark tools help distribute intellectual property to other internal business units, while simultaneously protecting your assets.
    • 3D Graphic Generation - Create Lightweight 3D views from your CAD data for use in your Technical Content Solutions. Output will include various 3D formats including standards like U3D supporting the S1000D, ATA, PDF, and other applications.
    • 2D Graphic Generation - Create 2D views from your CAD data for delivery on low bandwidth environment and incorporation in 2D publications.
  • Integrated 3D Aftermarket Applications: Training material, parts catalogs, and maintenance systems are integrated into complete MRO systems driven via a 3D interface.

Maintenance and Operations Jet Engine WireframeThe Benefits:

  • Increase Maintenance Revenue: With increased efficiency, reduced errors, and quicker turnaround of equipment, customers are less likely to select competitive services.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs: Maintenance and support costs are reduced by creating a much more efficient navigation and access to technical content, training applications, parts catalog, and troubleshooting interfaces.
  • Reduce Support Costs: Anark Solutions provide automated, on-demand access to critical engineering data. These sophisticated, repeatable, and automated processes can directly reduce reliance upon support personnel.
  • Enhance Compliance and Safety: With better equipment views, details on equipment configuration, and more up-to-date data; regulatory compliance and safety will increase significantly.
