Gone are the cumbersome clipboards and reams of paper checklists. Lufthansa Technik’s APU overhaul operation goes green with Honeywell’s hands-free Vocollect voice-technology data collection system.

In April 2014, Lufthansa Technik’s head of auxiliary powerplant unit (APU) services, Ole Gosau, first heard of Honeywell’s Vocollect voice-direction system. Now he and his team use Vocollect to service Pratt & Whitney APS 3200 APUs, saving hours of technician time and improving quality and productivity. “Vocollect voice technology has freed our technicians from time-consuming and burdensome written documentation, which previously took up around 50 percent of their working hours,” Gosau said.
