Gary Glessner, VP - Sales and Marketing, outlined some of the year’s highlights:

Honeywell is the largest producer of gas turbine auxiliary power units (APUs) for aircraft. Lufthansa Technik, a leading provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the airline industry, was looking for a way to save technician's time while improving quality and productivity. By implementing a Vocollect Maintenance & Inspection (M&I) Solution, Lufthansa Technik has freed up 50% of their technician's working hours from time-consuming written documentation. 

Honeywell is piloting the Vocollect Maintenance & Inspection (M&I) Solution. The advancing aviation industry needed a way to streamline engine product repair and overhaul processes. By implementing Vocollect Voice-directed work technology, its Sky Harbor Facility in Phoenix was able to save a significant amount of time during inspection while achieving increased accuracy.
