Concept Evolution at Meggitt

15 Feb 2022

With a global presence and a 170-year history of innovation in the aerospace, defence and energy markets, Meggitt has roots that go back to 1850 and the invention of the world’s first altimeter, the company. With investment in technologically differentiated systems and products with high certification requirements and with strong market positions on new international programmes, Meggitt provides systems for numerous types of aircraft worldwide, including brake systems, flexible fuel bladders, engine components and safety systems. This enables aircraft to fly safely and increasingly sustainably; provides armed forces with reliable and highly capable equipment; and, by applying many of the technologies developed within aerospace to the energy market, underpins cleaner energy production.

How Concept Evolution emerged as the standout choice for the Meggitt team, demonstrating the flexibility and comprehensiveness they sought from a CAFM platform.

Alongside the core Concept Evolution platform, Meggitt’s system also incorporates the Concept Reach Customer Portal and FSI GO Workforce Applications.

“Concept Reach is great because it enables any member of staff to access the system,” explained John. “The idea is to put this bubble around our business where everything ends up inside Concept Evolution and is accessible to anyone.”

John is equally complimentary of FSI GO: “FSI GO is a really interesting product. Its ability to load assets from nothing or to link assets to additional information, such as SFG20 or manufacturer’s requirements, and provide that to the engineer standing in front of that machine makes it a valuable and powerful tool for us.”

Although the full benefits and value of their Concept platform will not be fully understood until the system is 100% implemented, the Meggitt team has already seen improvements in how they now approach maintenance across their facilities and their ability to achieve compliance.

“It has helped our partners who provide maintenance to our business and our internal teams link everything together through Concept’s cloud-based solution,” described John. “It’s driving the right behaviour in relation to ensuring that maintenance is performed on time and that we can demonstrate that activity.”
