About The Customer
Advanced Atomization Technologies is a joint venture between GE Aviation and Parker Hannifin. The company produces fuel nozzles for GE Aviation jet engines, which power a large portion of the world’s commercial aircraft. Their products are installed on nearly every engine from GE Aviation, including some of the most powerful and efficient gas turbine engines on the planet. Aircraft ranging from the Boeing 737 Max and 747-8 to the Airbus A320neo and the Boeing 787 rely on GE Aviation engines equipped with Advanced Atomization's fuel nozzles. The company is known for its cutting-edge technology and commitment to innovation.
The Challenge
Advanced Atomization Technologies, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Parker Hannifin, was facing a significant challenge in managing their maintenance program. The company, which produces fuel nozzles for GE Aviation jet engines, was dealing with an overwhelming number of work orders, often exceeding 500 a month. The maintenance team was struggling to keep up, resulting in an average of 12 to 14 hours of overtime per week per technician. Despite this, the overall uptime remained at an average of 80%. The company had tried several different Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) platforms over the years, but none provided the comprehensive solution they needed. The goal was to find a software that could minimize reactive work orders, eliminate overtime, and maximize asset uptime.
The Solution
The solution came in the form of eMaint CMMS, a maintenance software designed to simplify work order management and preventive maintenance planning. The facility engineer at Advanced Atomization, James Kalinski, was confident that eMaint would streamline the team’s work orders. eMaint worked closely with Advanced Atomization to create a software package that would be ideal for everything from work orders to condition monitoring. The team received training to ensure they were confident in managing maintenance with the software. The implementation of eMaint has revolutionized maintenance and reliability at Advanced Atomization, slowing the flood of work orders to a trickle. The company is now moving into predictive maintenance, using Fluke vibration sensors and the new eMaint X5.
