Methods, systems, mobile devices and software products for automatic data processing in the maintenance of engine or vehicle systems

A method for automatic data processing in engine systems maintenance or manufacturing, in particular aircraft engine maintenance, or vehicle maintenance or manufacturing comprising

• a) scanning engine component information or vehicle component information from an information carrier coupled to an engine component or vehicle component with an image scanner device of a first mobile device, in particular a smartphone or a tablet computer,
• b) processing the engine component information or vehicle component information in a computer system connected at least intermittently with the first mobile device and/or in a computer system integrated with the first mobile device,
• c) automatically generating at least one event in dependence of the engine component information or vehicle component information, in particular at least one order event for the engine component or vehicle component and
• d) the computer system automatically sending at least one an information token to the first mobile device in dependence of the generation of the at least one event, in particular at least one confirmation token of the at least one order event.
