Sheorey Digital System: Bringing Down the Operating Costs Of Air Operators
The aviation industry has made an immeasurable impact on the lives of people by enabling them to experience diverse cultures across continents. Moreover, this industry is one of the main drivers behind globalization, which in turn drives the development of the modern world. Aviation has created significant opportunities by supporting almost 63 million jobs worldwide and contributing USD 2.7 trillion in the global GDP, therefore facilitating economic progress.According to a FICCI PWC report, the Indian civil aviation sector has continued to experience high passenger growth, and if the trend continues it could rank among the top three aviation markets in the world by 2020. However, the industry is passing through a phase of turmoil with the bottom lines under serious threat from volatile oil prices. Besides rationalizing the routes and maximizing yield, the bigger challenge that air transport operators face today is reduction and tight control of direct operating costs. All these demand efficient processes and an effective information system to arm the decision makers with accurate, reliable, and near realtime information and data. However, implementing such information systems and technologies to automate and modernize conventional process is, in fact, a challenging and daunting task. For this reason, air operators are looking for solution providers who would help them in overcoming this challenge.
Perfectly understanding these requirements, Mumbai headquartered Sheorey Digital Systems offers the Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS®), which is one of the most advanced and flexible information technology systems in the aviation industry. This system is designed to directly address and control the cost sensitivity of aviation for its users and other commercial air transport operations. ARMS® imposes an immediate overall discipline, which in turn gives users the total control of costs and controls that remain constant. The company’s flagship product ARMS® is a remarkable, cost effective, and fully integrated software system that intertwines and balancesthe operations, maintenance, and logistics functions of air transport operators. This product has been created to focus relentlessly on cost control, which is vital today. In addition, ARMS® is highly customizable and is designed in such a way that it is able to adapt to the clients’ specific business and operational requirements. It is implementedon a turnkey basis with instantaneous, reliable, and economical technical support.
Robust, Versatile, Accessible and Cost effective
“ARMS® is not just an ERP for the aviation industry, it is much more than that. Implementing ARMS® suite gives the airline management effective control over all operational activities and helps them take timely & accurate decisions to enhance efficiency, while assisting them in streamlining processes and reducing operational costs,” affirms Rohit Jha, Managing Director, Sheorey Digital Systems. “Moreover, it is designed for non stop 24x7 operations available on the cloud and is a robust, modular, and scalable solution,” he adds.
Advanced Scientific Analytical Methods to Improve Decision Making
Right now, a tremendous amount of data is being collected in the aviation industry. Analyzing such amounts of data and making the right decision is again an uphill task. This is where ARMS® provides users with Predictive Analytics(Machine Learning/ Cognitive Technologies), Operations Research based Optimizers known as Solvers, and Business Intelligence & Data Analytics. These tools are an integral part of the ARMS® system and are built on an affordable cloud computing model that employs advanced scientific analytical methods to improve the efficiency of operations, decision making, and the overall management of a company. ARMS® features a number of Operations Research based Optimizers that automatically present optimum solutions for any given plan or schedule that involves deciding how resources should be allocated to various tasks in order to meet demands while minimizing overall costs.
In addition, the functions within many of the subsystems automate the majority of regular tasks, thus alleviating workload and presenting optimum solutions while managing disruptions. This ensures that the air transport operators get more time to manage their airline efficiently and less time collating, integrating, and processing data.
Solvers deliver various benefits that include visible cost reductions, improved accuracy in resource planning, rapid exploration and evaluation of minimum cost scenarios, optimal resource assignments, and better disruption management using real data and userdefined constraints. The different types of Optimizers offered include the Flight Scheduling Optimizer for use with ARMS® Commercial Planning, Tail Assignment
Optimizer for use with ARMS® Flight operations, and Crew Trips Optimizer for use with ARMS® Crew Management. More optimizers are set to be launched shortly.
Seamless Exchange of Information Through a Unified Database
Another striking capability of the Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS®)of Sheorey Digital is that it is the only aviation information technology solution that facilitates seamless exchange of information between OPS and MNE functions. It seamlessly integrates all of the functional and operational areas of an airline with a unified database. The system does this by not only providing both the OPS and MNE teams with dedicated tools but also the essential shared system modules, which is required for general business management, training, quality control, and administration.
This suite has a single repository of data through which all the ARMS® modules are able to interact and communicate with each other. With this unified database system, OPS and MNE activities and processes can be truly integrated, rather than having to laboriously interconnect disparate applications that import, export, and in some cases translate data between the system’s parts.
ARMS® Suite for Operations
The ARMS® Suite with its subsystems transforms the cost effectiveness of the airline/air transport operations. These sub systems fully support the planning and scheduling activities and provide precise control and monitoring on the day of operation. In addition, the high degree of workflow automation and the availability of realtime data ensure operational efficiency and consistent ontime performance. The ARMS® Info Tech Suite comprises 13 subsystems that are highly customizable according to the client’s operational requirements. ARMS® Commercial Planning(CPSS),ARMS® Flight Operations (FOSS), ARMS® Crew Management(CMSS), ARMS® Flight Planning and Dispatch(FPDS), and ARMS® Engineering & Maintenance(EMSS) are a few subsystems of ARMS.
Capitalizing on High Fidelity Data to Monitor Safety Compliance
The Flight Data Monitoring & Analysis(FDMA) capitalizes on the high fidelity data recorded or transmitted by the aircraft and uses this data to measure and monitor the safety compliance and efficiency of the operations.
Designed to support all aspects of airline and air transport operations, ARMS® is a closed loop InfoTech system. Data is automatically fed back during every operation, thus enabling the organization to perform long term planning and nearer term scheduling based on accurate data with complete confidence.
The ARMS® InfoTech Suite brings together systems, processes, and people to produce an integrated and efficient business environment and to improve the quality of life for all concerned parties such as the crew, Flight Operation Managers, Crew Managers, Administrators, Finance Directors, AME, etc.
ARMS® provides instant access to a variety of customizable reports that make the weekly review meetings of organizations extremely productive. In addition, the CEOs and COOs can view KPIs through an EIS dashboard on their tablet. This software also assists organizations in meeting and maintaining their statutory compliance and safety culture across the organization. ARMS® provides the Flight Operation Managers with latest and up to date information through its near to realtime flight following feature that enables t hem to make informed decisions while managing disruptions.
Sheorey Digital Systems along with its parent company Laminaar Aviation Infotech Pte.Ltd.,is expanding its operations globally, with offices in Singapore and America. The company has clients in the Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia, Middle East, Africa, Europe, South America, and the US.
