The challenge

What holds aerospace & defence operations back

Aerospace and defence organisations operate to exacting standards, with complex equipment, controlled facilities, and personnel who must be fully competent before they touch an aircraft or system. OakAssist provides precise digital records of facilities and equipment, and immersive training that lets technicians and personnel practise complex procedures repeatedly and safely.

  1. 01

    Limited access to aircraft and equipment for training

    Live aircraft and systems are expensive to take out of service, which restricts how much hands-on practice technicians can get.

  2. 02

    Exacting procedural standards

    Maintenance and operational procedures must be followed precisely and evidenced, with little tolerance for variation.

  3. 03

    Facility planning in controlled environments

    Hangar layouts, tooling, and secure facilities must be planned carefully, with limited opportunities for repeated site access.

  4. 04

    Retaining specialised skills

    Experienced technicians are hard to replace, and their knowledge needs to be captured and passed on consistently.

How OakAssist helps

Two solutions, one operating picture

Digital assets give your teams an accurate view of the facility. Training-as-a-Service prepares your people to work in it safely and keeps the evidence current. Use either on its own, or combine them so training is built from your real site data.

01 Know your facility

Digital Assets

Precise capture supports facility planning and equipment reference in controlled environments.

  • Hangar and facility digital twins

    Accurate models support layout planning, tooling placement, and clearance checks without repeated access to secure areas.

  • Equipment and component capture

    Detailed 3D records of equipment support maintenance planning, training content, and reference documentation.

  • Controlled change records

    Updates to the digital baseline document facility changes over time, supporting quality and assurance processes.

02 Prepare your people

Training-as-a-Service (TaaS)

Training-as-a-Service gives personnel repeatable practice without taking equipment out of service.

  • Virtual maintenance procedures

    Technicians rehearse inspection and maintenance tasks in VR, building familiarity before working on live aircraft or systems.

  • AR-guided task support

    Step-by-step AR guidance reinforces correct sequences and captures the expertise of senior technicians.

  • Auditable competency records

    Assessment results and completion records provide evidence of personnel readiness for quality and regulatory oversight.
