This case study illustrates how AlarisPro’s advanced data platform empowered ArgenTech to monitor and manage Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at the component level.
Identifying the Problem
ArgenTech faced important challenges in its UAS maintenance program, relying on a fragmented system of spreadsheets and outdated tracking methods. This decentralized approach often led to critical maintenance needs being overlooked. The company sought a unified solution that would facilitate thorough documentation for all parties involved in UAS operations.
implementing the Solution
AlarisPro’s advanced data platform enabled ArgenTech to effectively monitor and maintain its aircraft at the component level. Beyond merely tracking maintenance activities, AlarisPro offers a holistic and integrated solution that captures essential data across the organization, ensuring the operational readiness of every component within ArgenTech’s UAS fleet.
Why Choose AlarisPro?
AlarisPro played a pivotal role in helping ArgenTech uncover a significant airworthiness concern related to a primary drive belt, a crucial component in their aircraft. By analyzing anonymized data from othre operators using the same aircraft model, AlarisPro identified a pattern of belt failures that, in some instances, led to the loss of both aircraft and payloads (frequently enough LiDAR systems).
This proactive insight allowed AlarisPro to inform users of this aircraft model about potential risks, thereby preventing further losses. The ability to leverage crowdsourced data was a key factor that attracted ArgenTech to AlarisPro.
As the only all-encompassing fleet management Software as a Service (SaaS) platform available, AlarisPro combines real-time data with component-level tracking, streamlining UAS maintenance operations and enhancing program reliability.
