Chennai-headquartered Ramco Systems has opened an engineering lab in Singapore to develop advanced aviation IT solutions such as wearables for ground engineers and drones to inspect aircraft on the tarmac.
Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance is the first anchor partner in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) lab, the first of its kind in Asia.
It combines engineering and research talent from Ramco, a global aviation software specialist.
Launched at the Singapore Airshow, held February 16-21, 2016, the lab will work on next-generation applications and develop intellectual property (IP) to solve major problems facing the MRO industry. fii-news.com
