A paradigm shift in aircraft visual inspection during A, B C checks

The AI-powered visual inspection solution deployed using vertically hung concave rigs is used for aircraft exterior surface quality checks. Precise coverage of all the damage from the nose of the aircraft to the tail wing enables reliable damage mapping and objective comparison of aircraft status over time. The bespoke rig enhances aeroplane maintenance by using high-end machine vision cameras and controlled lighting to capture the aircraft MSN. The exterior surface images are captured, processed in real-time, and sent to a GPU at the edge to process damage.

At the end of the aeroplane maintenance inspection, a comprehensive report is generated and sent for general visual inspection. This speeds up the inspection process tenfold and has a higher impact on reducing losses. The image processing, analytics, and control functions are remotely configurable, providing centralized management.

Damage can be hard to spot in modern aircraft made from composite materials. Yet, incident history shows that even minor infractions can severely affect the structure's integrity when pressurised. The AI-powered solution will consistently detect damage that the human eye cannot notice and is constantly learning and improving. A comprehensive visual audit trail can be created for every aircraft inspection and used for everything from MRO planning to postmortem should there be a mishap.
