Real-Time, On-Vehicle Maintenance System

When a vehicle or aircraft is down in the field, repair time is critical. Typically, it falls to the unit level repair personnel to diagnose the problem and make repairs. EMS provides fast and accurate help as it automates diagnosis and repair through the use of a rugged PC-based system.

Considered the most mature and highly integrated, real-time data acquisition and diagnostic system ever devised, EMS puts troubleshooting, maintenance procedures and parts information online. Information is always current because maintenance and parts information is updated electronically.

EMS interacts with both the system and the technician to quickly identify a fault and walk the technician, step by step, through repair procedures to the solution of the problem.

EMS Benefits

EMS significantly improves on previous field operation diagnostic systems, providing:

Rapid Turnaround
• Reducing time spent seeking and retrieving maintenance information
• Reducing No Evidence Of Failure (NEOF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
• Improving troubleshooting with the EMS built-in knowledge model

High Quality, Low Price

• Replacing more expensive processes that are far less effective at diagnosing and solving real-time, unit-level maintenance problems
• Replacing traditional methods of electronic troubleshooting that require significant logistical support

Better Performance, Fewer Errors

• Reducing the need for highly skilled technicians to support the system
• Significantly reducing repair and supply costs by greatly improving the probability of finding and fixing the real (rather than the perceived) problem
• Verifying that the repair fixed the problem
