For aircraft mechanics, especially for less experienced ones, finding the right information to address the problem in front of them can be extremely challenging. Digital manuals or other documents are stored, organized and updated in ways much different than the way most people think, speak or read. The maintenance-software company 1Ansah of Sidney has taken on that problem. The company has devised natural-language processing software that ingests digital maintenance manuals and related documents and then applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to iteratively learn from past search results. A mechanic working on a plane will type in search terms or a question, and the appropriate information will be displayed. The software isn't yet fully operational, but 1Ansah is collaborating with Airbus Group Australia Pacific to apply it to the company's helicopter maintenance.
