Visual support and interaction for error prevention in aircraft maintenance

Smart-Maintenance system integrates ICT technologies and mobile devices in order to support maintenance crew in any environment to ensure the availability of up-to-date technical information and provide more competitive services with higher levels of reliability. This allows maintenance management based on off-the-shelf tablets with user authentication based on digital certificates, role definitions, smart tasks assignment and object recognition through image analysis algorithms.
