AMOS (software)
Encyclopedia
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 prerequisites 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 few years, AMOS has been the most widely used MRO software in Europe and is nowadays one of the three top-selling MRO packages worldwide.
(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 was an important year in the history of the MRO package AMOS, as it marked the 20th birthday of the software that is currently used by almost 80 customers.
