Overview

• Searchable S1000D content - Use configurable search forms to quickly return just the right content. Search results and data modules are filtered for applicability to show only the content that is relevant for the current product being maintained (aircraft, ship, vehicle, etc.).
• Viewable, browsable S1000D content – Navigate through a tree representation of data modules, organized by product and data module code. Browse views are also filtered by the specified applicability conditions.
• Embedded process data module logic engine – Generate interactive, guided user interfaces from standard S1000D process data modules. Use the extensive set of external interfaces to retrieve on-board system parameters, such as pressures and temperatures, which can be used to preselect the correct path in the process logic tree, leading to quicker resolution of maintenance discrepancies.
• Interactive fault troubleshooting – Use data-driven forms and search results to quickly access specific troubleshooting procedures. The search form can be customized according to the product, showing only the relevant search fields.

Specific S1000D Capabilities

• S1000D Data Exchange - InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D also imports supplier data S1000D exchange packages and seamlessly integrates data into the CSDB. When it comes time for content delivery, S1000D data can be exported directly to Airbus creating the correct packing requirements mandated by S1000D. TechSight/X IETP S1000D supports these needs out of the box.
• Provisioning Data - InfoTrust provisioning data specialists have a thorough understanding of engineering data, and years of proven experience in providing thousands of accurate and timely provisioning files for both the OEM manufactures and airline procurement and engineering professionals that rely upon them. TechSight/X IETP S1000D will also provide the capability to author, track and deliver provisioning data to OEM, in iSpec 2000 (ATA standard).
  
  InfoTrust support manufactures and suppliers with:
  
  
• Accurate and timely delivery of T-Files, Recommended Spare Parts Lists, and other provisioning data files
• Assurance that Illustrated Parts Lists (IPLs), S1000D IPD data modules, and T-Files match exactly for consistent pricing and parts listings
• Compliance with standards guidelines, including ATA SPEC 2000, iSpec 2200, and S1000D


• Legacy Specification Support - Lastly, OEMs can also continue to provide technical content to customers in ATA SGML or ATA style PDFs. InfoTrust’s TechSight/X IETP S1000D will continue to support the ability to publish and deliver legacy formats for content needs.
  
  In recent tests, using engine data, InfoTrust demonstrated importing ATA data, authoring in S1000D, delivering S1000D, and converting output to ATA specification iSpec2200.

Features and Benefits

InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D: a Type 2 IETP for delivering Job Cards, Maintenance Visits and Maintenance Manual content.

TechSight/X IETP S1000D is based on the S1000D standard for civil and military aviation which brings essential business benefits for airlines and slashes costs significantly in the hangar as well as at the gate.

TechSight/X IETP S1000D comes with a full conversion utility to convert legacy manuals from the existing ATA iSpec 2200 standard into the new ATA S1000D standard. This enables airlines to use a single integrated system for a mixed fleet environment for content management as well as content delivery today.

Extensive Search dialogs

Search for data analysis or authoring InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D has extensive search capability for maintenance program tasks, job cards, engineering projects, graphics, structured manuals, and unstructured manuals. Searches can be executed, refined and stored.
Boolean expressions With InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D, mechanics and engineers can specify over 200 search criteria. Searches can be refined and exported. InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D supports full text search with Boolean expressions and wild cards.
Search results Searches can be used for mechanics as a tool to find manual components, ad hoc work instructions, or fault analysis procedures.
Tailored Information Effectiveity Filtering Effectivity filtering is applied for searches and content viewing or printing. Popup helper dialogs provide an easy way of specifying effectivity.
Location applicability InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D allows authors to condition content fragments for specific locations such as the Hangar, Line, and the Shop. InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D takes advantage of these conditions by creating views of the content applicable for the location where the maintenance activity takes place. Conditions are supplied as part of the maintenance visit detail or user preferences.
Organizational applicability TechSight/X IETP S1000D is ready for both in- and out-sourcing. Content conditions can be set to specify whether parts of the manual or job cards are visible for organizations executing the maintenance activity. Content is filtered according to security rules. End users will see custom content for their environment. Examples of organizational applicability are: third party vendor, in-sourced from airline X, and so on.
Line maintenance documentation Overnight visits Overnight visits are available through the visit manager. Speed dialogs can open and print multiple visits from the search result dialog.
Ad hoc searches for manual content In time-critical situations at the gate ad hoc searches, fault analysis tools, and predefined solutions significantly reduce the time to get the aircraft back into the air. InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D significantly reduces the time to troubleshoot a problem and find the required maintenance content. The InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D process data module implementation enables a integration of maintenance manual content and fault analysis reducing the time to find the right maintenance content.
Simple and effective User Interface InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D was designed in close partnership with base and line mechanics. The primary design goal was to minimize the effort to find the right maintenance content. InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D benefits from the modular approach of the S1000D standard where maintenance content is dynamically constructed for a particular task or activity. Dynamically assembled maintenance content can contain information from all traditional manuals such as the fault isolation manual, the maintenance manual, the illustrated parts catalog, and so on.
Process Data Module Implementation Interactive fault analysis InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D implements the S1000D Process Data Module, allowing engineers to define interactive fault analysis applications.
Gathering Information Process Data Module documents can be used to gather information during the fault analysis by defining dialogs.
Manual construction Process Data Module execution leads to a sequence of data modules retrieved from the InfoTrust TechSight/X IETP S1000D database. A sequence of data modules can be rendered into a resulting ad hoc manual.

Overview

InfoTrust Process Data Module Logic Engine for S1000D

The S1000D Process Data Module specification is a standard for interactive processing structures resulting in a sequence of data modules. Example usages are:

• Interactive Fault Analysis applications
• Guidance applications for complex procedures
• Product advisory applications such as: "Which laptop should I choose?"
• Interactive market surveys

Although the S1000D Process Data Module is an S1000D standard which primarily targets interactive fault analysis, the specification itself is useful in a broader sense beyond the Aerospace and Defense industry.

Logic Engine

A Logic Engine implementation is capable of compiling Process Data Modules and present this as an interactive application to the end user. Besides an interactive, web-based application the TechSight/X Logic Engine can be published as a PDF document.

TechSight/X Logic Engine offers an interactive, wizard-like web application to the end user, where the end user is guided through the process defined in the Process Data Module, ensuring that all steps in a procedure or fault isolation are followed. The wizard-like web interface helps the end user by supplying additional information and by interfacing to external systems or devices.

Logic inside the document eliminates the need for custom development

TechSight/X Logic Engine eliminates the need to change your application whenever your process changes. With the Process Data Module the logic is part of the document. Whenever procedures or processes change you only have to change the Process Data Module content which is interpreted by the logic engine. Eliminating the need to reprogram your logic significantly reduces costs of operations in a changing world.
