-- 8tree continues to be recognized for continuous innovations
in its design of user-centric technologies that enhance quality and
efficiency. The company's dentCHECK tool – now the standard for
damage-mapping within the aviation sector –was awarded the
VR-Innovationprize. This was the 20th consecutive year in which the
Baden-Württemberg Volksbank & Raiffeisenbanken awarded the
prize.
dentCHECK is a handheld optical 3D surface inspection tool that
was purpose-built for the aviation industry. It measures and
documents structural damage on aircraft, with incredible speed and
accuracy. Every feature and capability of the tool is the result of
direct input from aircraft technicians, mechanics and engineers. In
essence, dentCHECK was defined by aviation professionals for use by
aviation professionals.
Why do speed and accuracy matter? Dent-damage can determine if
an aircraft is airworthy. Taking too long to inspect the damage
costs the airline money, as the aircraft stays grounded. However,
producing uncertain measurement results can compromise safety and
cost lives. dentCHECK was designed to help on both fronts, by
creating an end-to-end digitized workflow. In doing so, dentCHECK
produces consistently accurate measurement reports while delivering
time-savings of up to 90%.
How does it work? Point-and-click to get instant answers – just
like a camera. Leveraging integrated augmented-reality (AR), the
answers, or measurement results, are visually superimposed on the
damaged aircraft surface, using an intuitive color scheme and
numerical annotations. Furthermore, the measurement analytics are
directly accessible via the cloud for further reporting and
auditing purposes.
Dozens of well-known aviation and aerospace industry brands,
including Airbus, Lufthansa-Technik, Delta Air Lines and
Gulfstream, have embraced dentCHECK – an innovation that is made in
Constance, Germany.
