The Challenge: Operational Data Lives Outside Aviation Systems

Why critical aviation data remains trapped:

Unstructured inputs dominate

Operational data is scattered across PDFs, screenshots, scanned reports, handwritten notes, multilingual documents, emails, and attachments.

Data lives outside core systems

Critical information is disconnected from airline operations management, flight operations, airport systems, and aviation ERPs.

Manual effort slows operations

Teams rely on time-consuming manual data entry, reconciliation, and validation across disconnected sources.

Delayed response and limited visibility

The result is slower decision-making and limited operational transparency during critical moments.

Scalable Aviation Document Processing & Workflow Automation

DataArt designs AI document processing solutions specifically for aviation realities. We focus on the documents aviation teams actually use and the operational systems they depend on.

1

Extracts structured data from multiple document sources, including:
– PDFs and scanned reports
– Screenshots and images
– Handwritten text
– Multilingual documents
– Emails and email attachments

2

Applies aviation-specific data schemas aligned with operational workflows.

3

Produces transparent, editable outputs with AI-driven document validation, enabling efficient human review and approval.

4

Exports clean data as JSON or CSV for seamless system integration.

5

Custom system integration: Building custom interfaces and APIs to deliver data directly into airline, airport, MRO, or other operational systems that require it.

Case Study: From PoC to Production-Ready Aviation Solution in Practice

This case study illustrates how AI-driven aviation document processing replaced manual data entry in time-critical ground operations workflows.

Challenge

A major international airline relied on screenshots of cargo manifest tables during ground operations.

Critical data - flight IDs, ULD positions, weight, and handling details had to be manually re-entered into operational systems, slowing turnaround and increasing the risk of errors during peak periods.

The airline needed a fast way to convert operational screenshots into structured, system-ready data without replacing existing ground operations tools.

Solution

DataArt developed an AI-powered Proof of Concept to extract structured data directly from cargo manifest screenshots used by ground operations teams. The PoC was delivered in under 40 hours and designed around real operational inputs that are not ideal for data sources.

How It Works

Input: Cargo manifest screenshots (PNG/JPG) captured from operational systems
Processing:
- Aviation-specific extraction schema
- AI models trained to recognize table layouts and operational fields
Output:
- Editable, structured tables
- Export as JSON or CSV for downstream system integration

Technologies Used

Python, FastAPI, Pydantic
AWS Bedrock (Claude, Amazon Nova)
React, TypeScript, Tailwind
OpenAPI, JSON/CSV
Docker, PostgreSQL, JWT

Scaling from PoC to Production

The PoC was designed as a foundation for production deployment, enabling:

Expansion to additional document types and operational workflows
Integration with airline, airport, and MRO systems
Enterprise-grade security, governance, and scalability
A broader document intelligence strategy across aviation operations

Outcome

The airline moved from isolated automation to a scalable, AI-driven document processing capability aligned with real operational needs.
