Aircraft maintenance professionals face the pressing challenge of preparing for high demand in the aerospace industry. This demand is twofold, stemming from the pent-up backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the projected surge in aircraft production over the next two decades. Meeting these expectations and capitalizing on the wave of demand requires finding a solution quickly. Additionally, the need to expedite the process of applying basecoat and clearcoat is crucial to clear backlogs, meet production deadlines, and reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG). Integrating a new system seamlessly into existing tools, ensuring minimal employee training, and meeting regulatory requirements and sustainability goals further compound the challenges faced by these professionals.
