MIRO Announces AuRA™ Version 2005

La Jolla, CA – June 23, 2005

MIRO Technologies announced today the release of AuRA™ Version 2005, which incorporates 171 modifications and represents over 5,000 man-hours of new development, is currently being installed at customer sites in a phased approach. This latest AuRA release includes 65 enhancements, all of which are available to the growing list of AuRA customers worldwide.

The most significant enhancements incorporated into AuRA v2005 include:

• Actual Structure view. The Actual Structure view includes a new feature to mass update the ‘when-due’ settings for all Tasks on an aircraft. This functionality is intended for use on newly acquired aircraft. Various fail-safes are included to prevent accidental execution.
• Maintenance Programs desktop. This release also benefits from a reworked Maintenance Programs desktop that allows for the definition of Serial Effectivity for a Default Work Order relating to a particular Task.
• Work Package Execution desktop. The Work Package Execution desktop can now automatically retrieve assigned work for the current user immediately upon executing this screen. This only occurs if the current user actually has any unsatisfied Work Orders assigned.
• Component Install. AuRA v2005 has enhanced the Component Install process to provide the capability to automatically reset specified TS Types at time of install. A new business rule has been introduced whereby the customer can identify all the TS Types that should be reset at install time.
• System Codes desktop. AuRA v2005 includes an enhanced System Codes desktop to allow de-activation of certain reference codes.
• Replenishment Server. MIRO has now improved the Replenishment Server process to support an alternate method of computing excess when determining whether or not to reserve and transfer excess material to satisfy a Replenishment Request from another location. This allows customers to decide whether 'due-in' requisitions should be considered in the current balance when computing the excess.
• Work Package Tally Sheet. The WP Tally Sheet was enhanced to operate like JIC documents, such that each customer can develop a customized Tally document.
• Maintenance Worksheet. The Maintenance Worksheet has been enhanced so that the user can instigate a change to the ILS Category Rating of the aircraft. When performed in this manner, the Work Order is also captured for display on the Model Details desktop. The ILS Cat Rating is also shown on the Model Status Board and can be updated on the Model Details.
• JIC Printing. The JIC Print process has benefited from several new tokens.

Other AuRA desktops improved in this new release include: Engineering Orders, Deferment Management, Inventory Details, Work Order Inquiry, Structure Receiving, Structure Remove & Install, Post Flight Details and Parts Catalog.
