10 July 2020: The dedicated team at SR Technics has come up with their latest innovation, a video streaming portal ‘the Remote Table Inspection’ (RTI) for Engine Services at their Zurich facility. With this all SR Technics engine customers can follow the inspection work on their engines, parts and modules conveniently and remotely from their homes. The team at SR technic began their work on this module immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Keeping in view the social distancing norms and no-touch solutions for maintenance, the RTI was developed and live by the end of April 2020.
“SR Technics is one of the first engine MRO providers to use video streaming technology for remote table inspections,” said Owen McClave, Senior Vice President Engine Services at SR Technics. “Given the great reduction in travel and face-to-face interactions in recent months, this is yet another example of how our company has rapidly adapted to market demands while prioritizing the health of our customers and personnel.”
Remote Table Inspections (RTIs) at SR Technics help to minimize waiting times significantly reduce travel costs and process time and eliminate bottlenecks. In addition, the flow of engine materials is not affected by an RTI, since items do not need to be blocked as with a physical table inspection. Besides optimizing material flow and streamlining the inspection process, all results are documented and made available to the customer in real time.
“As a customer who shared opinions from the initial introduction of RTI, I found this procedure to be a very efficient and realistic alternative,” said Seahee Cho, Power Plant Engineer – Engine Maintenance at Asiana Airlines. “The advantages of RTI are various, and it is possible to manage the engine history through video recording, which is part of RTI, and to shorten the engine repair duration (TAT). In addition, live streaming technology can be used for various issues that are not limited to table inspection and require further discussion. I expect that this new process will enable more convenient mutual cooperation.”
