AMOS (software)

AMOS is a fully-integrated software package used in the context of aviation Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO). AMOS helps airlines to manage the maintenance, engineering and logistics requirements of modern aircraft fleets. AMOS is distributed and developed by Swiss AviationSoftware Ltd.

AMOS consists of ten highly interlinked core modules that are prerequisite for the system’s data quality and reliability. Written in pure JAVA, AMOS is hardware independent, fully web-enabled and does not need any external software components except for the database.

Over the past years, AMOS has been the most widely used MRO software in Europe and is nowadays one of the three top-selling MRO packages worldwide. And has many award-winning materials.

History

The AMOS foundations were laid in 1989 by the IT Department of the Swiss airline Crossair (later Swiss International Air Lines, abbr. SWISS). Originally, the software was exclusively designed for the specific needs of the airline, but due to great demand by external customers looking for a suitable maintenance solution, AMOS was sold to an external party for the first time in 1992. A few years later, a standardization of AMOS took place which was also the starting point for the growing market share of the product.

2009 is an important year in the history for the MRO package AMOS as it marks the 20st birthday of the software that is currently used by almost 80 customers.

AMOS Modules

AMOS consists of ten core modules administered in one relational database. Despite the system’s modular architecture that allows for module-wise implementation, all modules are multiply interlinked and the system is characterized by a very high level of integration.
