Case Study: JBT AeroTech achieves improved maintenance visibility and significant cost savings with Infor EAM Enterprise

JBT AeroTech Finds Flexibility and Savings with Infor EAM Enterprise

JBT AeroTech, a division of JBT Corporation that manufactures and services airport ground‑support, gate and military equipment from its Orlando HQ, needed a better way to manage maintenance across 22 airports. The company’s challenges included tracking all maintenance tasks and time spent, automating work‑order and procurement workflows (with escalations), rapidly identifying problem areas and assigning labor, and maximizing IT resources without adding staff.

JBT implemented Infor EAM Enterprise as a hosted solution, giving a single system to track purchases, inventory, corrective and preventive maintenance, costs and exact labor time, plus consolidated monitoring alerts and advanced executive reporting. The hosted EAM delivered 15–25% higher system efficiency versus comparable on‑premises setups, nearly 100% uptime over 10 years, faster problem resolution, and significant IT cost savings while supporting 24x7 operations across multiple locations.
