Mobile Maintenance (MM) Configuration¶
Overview
The Mobile Maintenance (MM) solution enables mobile maintenance teams to perform maintenance activities from preparing for aircraft arrival, recording maintenance, and deferring faults, to releasing an aircraft, via the IFS Cloud Web and IFS Cloud Mobile user interfaces.
The MM solution can be deployed as integrated or non-integrated with Maintenix. For information on configuring Mobile Maintenance integrated with Maintenix, also see Maintenix (MXCORE).
The Mobile Maintenance components in IFS Cloud are as follows:
- ADCOM - This consists of web pages, used by administrators to manage basic data information related to mobile Maintenance and to define settings related to the display of information for technicians.
- ADMON - This consists of web pages used by administrators to monitor communication, notably the status of the synchronization of requests between the Mobile Maintenance applications and Maintenix, when an integration to Maintenix is supported.
- FLMEXE - This consists of web pages used by line technicians and maintenance supervisors to carry out mobile maintenance activities.
- FLM - This consists of pages on the IFS Mobile Maintenance application, which is used by technicians. For information related to the IFS Cloud Mobile Maintenance application see IFS Mobile Maintenance.
