Ottawa, Canada – TheNewswire - May 29, 2024 - Contextere announced their continued strategic partnership with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) to test their insight engine & industrial chatbot, MADISON, on the CP-140 Aurora aircraft. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the application of artificial intelligence within the defense sector and is a reminder of Contextere and the RCAF’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
MADISON is uniquely and exclusively focused on the needs and workflow of technical personnel improving their situational awareness and knowledge, while reducing cognitive load when operating and maintaining complex, mission-critical equipment and making planning decisions. With a growing demand for skilled technicians, as over the next 20 years, 610,000 new technicians will be needed to meet demand from fleet operators and providers of maintenance, repair, and overhaul servicesi, solutions like MADISON can help bridge the knowledge gap and enhance the capabilities of existing personnel. By integrating with Microsoft Teams, the platform ensures streamlined collaboration for a more connected and informed workforce, which reduces the productivity challenges resulting from technicians spending an average of 1.8 hours per workday searching for and gathering informationii.
This collaboration builds on an initial successful test deployment of MADISON to technicians of 402 Squadron maintaining the CT-142 Dash-8 aircraft in Winnipeg. In this deployment, technicians using MADISON could troubleshoot issues much faster and junior technicians performed at higher competency levels versus control groups who did not have access to MADISON.
"Our partnership with the RCAF is a testament to Contextere's vision of bringing human-centric AI solutions to the front lines of industrial workplaces. MADISON can transform the way the RCAF maintains and operates its fleet, providing unparalleled support to the technicians on the ground," said Gabe Batstone, Chief Executive Officer of Contextere.
The deployment of Contextere’s Insight Engine within the RCAF signifies an era of digital transformation and operational excellence. Contextere is proud to support the RCAF's mission to maintain the highest standards of readiness and effectiveness through cutting-edge technology.
