8tree Rolls Out dentCHECK pano at MRO Americas

: Apr 10, 2019 - : 3:21 am

Following the enthusiastic reception to its dentCHECK tool by airlines and MROs, 8tree has launched dentCHECK pano – which promises to further accelerate aircraft damage inspections while maintaining the quality and ease of measurement that dentCHECK provides.

“Our latest pano offering marks a milestone in a multi-year journey that began with requests from our customers in the aviation industry”, said Erik Klaas, CTO, 8tree. “They wanted us to develop a quick and seamless method to map entire aircraft bays, similar to how dentCHECK already allows them to perform quick spot-checks on smaller areas. dentCHECK pano allows them to do just that, producing a digital collage that can be archived for comparison during future maintenance.

“In early customer trials, pano has directly driven more than 95% time-savings compared to traditional methods,” said Klaas. “Now, in less than 10min, dentCHECK pano can inspect, stitch and report an entire aircraft bay – this task would otherwise have taken 3-4 hours. This has significant upside implications for RVSM measurements.”

“With pano, 8tree continues to expand the dentCHECK eco-system”, said Arun Chhabra, CEO, 8tree. “The company’s 8cloud, Blend-Out Assistant and Multi-damage report offerings were introduced earlier this year at MRO Middle East in Dubai. The combined impact of these new offerings enhances maintenance efficiency by orders of magnitude – far in excess of the 90% time-savings enabled by the dentCHECK tool alone.”

dentCHECK is the world’s only handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool with integrated AR that is purpose-built for the aviation maintenance industry. It is being used by the world’s leading commercial, cargo and defense MROs, including easyJet, Delta TechOps, Aeromexico, Airbus and DHL-Express. The tool, which delivers real-time ‘go/no-go’ answers at the push of a single-button, significantly reduces damage-mapping and reporting times, compared to traditional manual methods that use depth-gauges and straight-edges. This shortens aircraft Turn-around-Time (TaT), which further reduces lost revenues and very directly improves operational efficiency for airlines.

dentCHECK has been recognized by multiple aircraft OEMs. It is 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. In addition, the criteria outlined in Boeing’s Service Letter, applicable to all Boeing commercial aircraft, recognizes dentCHECK’s performance and the rigor of 8tree’s measurement validation process. Similar recognition of dentCHECK performance can be found in the Q400/Dash-8 NDTM from Bombardier.
