 Singapore-headquartered Quest Global (Hall 1, Booth #1570), a pure-play engineering services company, is showcasing augmented reality solutions that it calls "futuristic aerospace solutions," such as AR360 for repairs, Internet of Things (IoT) based asset tracking to maximize operational efficiency for aero OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, and a cabin surveillance system with deep learning and digital engineering.
The company offers mechanical, electrical, electronics, embedded, engineering software, engineering analytics, manufacturing and supply chain solutions across the complete engineering lifecycle. Co-founder, chairman, and CEO Ajit Prabhu said: “Our ‘local-global’ model enables maximum value interactions and high-quality deliveries at optimal cost.” The company has 8,700 specialists operating from 13 countries. “We will continue to extend our position into adjacent vertical markets……Our acquisition of Exilant Technologies is strategic as Quest broadens our customer base and expertise to meet our customers’ needs in rapidly changing markets.”
The company has also developed proprietary predictive tools based on advanced analytics and has an understanding of the complex supply chain of Aero Engine production, ensuring high reliability in meeting production targets. Leveraging its expertise and strong talent pool, Quest has partnered with engine OEMs such as Rolls-Royce, General Electric, and Safran Aircraft Engines, empowering them with pivotal support services ranging from design, development, and manufacturing engineering to aftermarket services.
As aerospace OEMs increasingly look for end-to-end engineering services, “It is important for us to continue to engineer solutions that leverage the latest digital technologies for bringing the next level of quality and performance to our new and existing customers. With key organizations and global influencers all under one roof, Farnborough International Show is the perfect platform for us to showcase our services portfolio, which will equip global industry leaders to take up the challenges and opportunities in Aerospace 4.0,” said Steve Gerber, senior vice president and global industry head aerospace and defense, Quest Global.  
Looking at expanding its geographic silhouette with Tier 1 companies and additional OEMs, Quest has been adding digital capabilities to its technical services portfolio through a series of acquisitions over the past years. In the past six months the company acquired Bangalore-base IT company Exilant Technologies, Detech Fahrzeugentwicklung in Germany, IT Six Global in Romania, and Mobiliya Technologies in Singapore.
In June Quest signed a definitive agreement to acquire Barcelona-based Engineering Community, adding the sought-after capability of research and development in the manufacturing cycle of new products. “Our customers are leaders in their respective industries, and this acquisition will help us provide them with lower cost solutions in Europe. We are investing heavily in building digital competencies to help our customers innovate and shrink their product development cycle and also bring new solutions to their market,” said Prabhu.
