13th July 2017.- AERTEC Solutions, an international engineering company specializing in aviation, is presented its MRO support system that addresses in real time, and remotely, the need for technical support in aerospace plants, using augmented reality and from any authorized mobile device. The solution enables the operator to contact a team of experts from AERTEC Solutions by videoconference, using a tablet or a smartphone, without the need for a physical presence. The system will allow, simultaneously, the setting of parameters and sorting of tasks in an information system that will record them to enable rapid identification in case they are repeated in the future. The recording of these data will allow further analysis with the aim of obtaining information that will help to optimize the time and cost of aeronautical production. “At AERTEC Solutions we call this Socializing Knowledge. Thanks to the globalization of information, it will be possible for an expert from our staff who is, for example, in the USA, to direct a task that is running in a European aerospace plant," says Rafael Márquez, Director of the Department of Aerospace Systems at AERTEC Solutions. 
This system is fully compatible with the client's own technology, since it is only necessary to have a mobile device or augmented reality goggles to be able to connect. During the Paris Air Show, AERTEC Solutions is performed different demonstrations on its stand showing how the solution functions so that potential customers can find out about it first hand.
The company has launched a similar system for airports, called ATIKA, which also allows passengers to connect via videoconference with airport staff to resolve any doubt or query. The good results arising from the application prompted AERTEC Solutions to extrapolate this to the aviation industry, in a clear example of synergy between the company's areas of specialization.
