Aeromexico Selects dentCHECK Tool for its Fleet

: Jan 16, 2019 - : 7:42 pm

Aeromexico, Mexico’s global airline, has selected 8tree’s dentCHECK tool to significantly enhance the efficiency and quality of dent-mapping on its fleet of aircraft.

dentCHECK is the world’s only handheld portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool with integrated AR that is specifically designed for the aviation maintenance industry. It is now used by the world’s leading commercial, cargo and defense MROs. Delivering real-time ‘go/no-go’ answers, the tool significantly reduces dent-mapping and reporting times, compared to traditional manual methods that use depth-gauges, straight-edges and calipers.

“After evaluating several technologies, dentCHECK was our natural choice for a variety of reasons”, said David Nakamura, SVP Engineering, Planning and Technical Services at Aeromexico. “dentCHECK’s point-and-click operation and consistently accurate measurements will allow our team to leverage the tool’s benefits immediately. We will also be able to produce very quick reports to be submitted to OEMs, should the case be needed, for the evaluation of damage exceeding SRM limits. Boeing’s Service Letter released last year, containing 3D scanner selection criteria, recognized dentCHECK’s performance and the rigor of 8tree’s measurement validation process. We expect to immediately put dentCHECK to use on our Boeing fleet and to expand to our Embraer fleet very shortly. We are confident that important efficiencies will be gained for both our ongoing maintenance as well as for our aircraft redelivery processes”.

“We are ecstatic to welcome Aeromexico – our first major Latin American carrier – to the rapidly growing global aviation community of dentCHECK users”, said Arun Chhabra, CEO, 8tree. “We are grateful for the rigor of their selection process – it gives our dentCHECK tool an opportunity to very convincingly speak for itself. We look forward to enabling Aeromexico’s operations and having them experience 8tree’s exceptional customer service.”

dentCHECK was purpose-built per the specifications of the aviation maintenance industry.  It is recognized by multiple aircraft OEMs. It has been approved and published in Airbus’ Tool Equipment Manuals (TEMs) for dent-mapping on metallic aero-structures and composite cabin floor-boards on all Airbus aircraft. The tool’s performance and established measurement validation process is consistent with the criteria outlined in Boeing’s Service Letter, which is applicable to all Boeing commercial aircraft.

According to different case-studies, dentCHECK drastically reduces inspection and reporting times by up to 90%. It empowers aircraft maintenance operations with consistent dent-inspection and expedited blend-out results, thus shortening  Turn-around-Time (TaT),  reducing lost revenues and improving operational efficiency.
