Avexus and P&WC to Collaborate on Workbench Application
Avexus Inc, a provider of "software solutions" for the
management of aftermarket services operations, and Pratt &
Whitney Canada announced on Wednesday here at the show a collaboration
for a new inspection and overhaul workbench application.
Avexus will be responsible for development, marketing, sale and
support of the workbench, which is based on a similar application
that was initially conceived and developed by P&WC for its
own in-house use. Avexus will develop a publicly available software
solution that will streamline gas turbine engine overhaul operations
at repair facilities worldwide, providing them with a proven process
for effectively and profitably repairing P&WC's broad range
of turbine engines. The application will also display aggregated
engine configuration and service bulletin information that will
be regularly updated by P&WC.
"Once we had developed our in-house workbench solution, we
recognized an opportunity to identify a collaborator with the
industry expertise and software development infrastructure to
successfully bring such an application to market-and Avexus quickly
became the obvious choice," said Gilbert Guadette, vp of
service centers for P&WC.
