Augmented Knowledge Corporation is a leading AI company specializing in aviation MRO solutions. Founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the AI Lab at Inha University in Korea, the company is led by Dr. Kevin G. S. Jo, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science. Building on an Airbus-sponsored research initiative launched in 2008, Augmented Knowledge developed a groundbreaking AI-powered digital twin simulator for aircraft maintenance training and education—an innovation that has gained strong traction across both civilian and defense sectors.

Continuing to drive global innovation, Augmented Knowledge was honored with the 2024 MRO Technology of the Year award. The company is rapidly expanding its footprint among aviation training centers and OEMs, transforming traditional manuals into next-generation AI-powered digital twin (DT) manuals.

Built on highly detailed digital replicas of aircraft, these advanced DT manuals deliver unprecedented realism and interactivity, significantly improving maintenance training and operations. The AI-powered DT manuals not only reduce maintenance time by up to 50%, but also automatically generate compliance reports—streamlining processes that previously consumed extensive human resources.

With the integration of cutting-edge voice recognition technology, trainees can now interact naturally with their personal virtual aircraft. This hands-free, immersive environment enables self-paced, conversational training experiences, ushering in a new era of accessibility, efficiency, and engagement in aircraft maintenance education.
