  • Reduce total costs of data loading and data acquisition

 

Description

MBS provides solutions to overcome issues related to physical media usage through innovative memory card emulator products and a Card Read/Writer, all of which interface the mini PDL- Pad to LRUs.

LRUs, which are normally loaded with physical media (PCMCIA, CF, USB) can interface with the mini PDL-Pad and provide a fully controlled data path between the web-based Software Management System (FLS-Desk) and the LRU to be data loaded.

LRU data, stored on the FLS-Desk, can be automatically transferred via Ethernet, Cellular, or Wi-Fi worldwide, to the mini PDL-Pad and stored in its internal repository, from where it can be loaded into LRUs under software control. After loading, the information is transferred back to the FLS-Desk where the load status of each aircraft is maintained.

For memory cards needing to remain on the aircraft during flight, stored data can be downloaded with the Card Read/Writer and automatically sent to the FLS-Desk. The card will be formatted and can be replaced into the aircraft. When an update is required, the content can be selected using the mini PDL-Pad, changes made to the card and the card retained in the aircraft.

This proven approach provides a complete end to end system to manage the acquisition, distribution, loading and monitoring of databases and FLS and eliminate, or significantly reduce, unreliable physical media from the data loading process.
