MIAMI, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trax, a leading global provider of paperless aviation maintenance and engineering software products, announced it will enable the fully digital maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) platform of SIA Engineering Company's (SIAEC's) state-of-the-art heavy maintenance facility in Malaysia. This collaboration signifies a prominent milestone in the paperless movement for the aviation industry, as the new facility will leverage cutting-edge technology to streamline and enhance maintenance operations.

With the application of Trax's eMRO and eMobility products, operational processes at SIAEC's facility in Malaysia, Base Maintenance Malaysia (BMM), will be entirely digital, including MRO planning, task execution, release management, and costing. The facility will benefit from:

Paperless task execution: Trax's TaskControl application will support the facility by eliminating paper-based workflows and allowing seamless electronic task card execution, increased speed and accuracy, and dependable compliance in maintenance operations.
Expedited check packages: The use of Trax products will significantly reduce turnaround time for maintenance events via a fully digital check package process.
Optimized resource planning: Trax's Production Control application will be deployed to optimize manpower allocation and slot planning processes, enabling the MRO facility to operate at peak efficiency.
Comprehensive inventory and tool management: Trax's eMRO platform will manage all aspects of inventory, warehouse, and tooling, providing maintenance teams with access to real-time information on part availability and tool utilization.
Contract and cost management: eMRO will facilitate contract management and introduce digital invoicing, which will simplify administrative tasks and provide users with transparent and efficient financial interactions.

"Developing a new facility that is entirely paperless from the onset marks a significant milestone for Trax, SIAEC, and the industry as a whole," said Andrew Schmidt, Trax's Executive Vice President.

"Trax's suite of cloud-based products will advance seamless and efficient planning, control, and execution processes at BMM," said Jeremy Yew, SVP of Base Maintenance. "When BMM commences operations, this modern, digital MRO facility will support our commitment to quality, safety, and operational reliability for our global customers."
