AI Drone Inspections for Aircraft Maintenance
From our roots in Swiss precision, to our commitment to the latest industry innovations, we are dedicated to ensuring that you and your aircraft are always in safe hands. Find out more about our cutting-edge AI Drone Inspections, a new and unique way to perform aircraft checks accurately and efficiently.
Advanced aircraft inspections
Step into our world of innovation and technology. Discover how we use drone and AI capabilities on MRO projects to support operations for inspecting the external structure of aircraft, including lightning strike inspections, General Visual Inspections (GVIs), regulatory marking inspections, and paint quality checks.
Technology
By capturing detailed records of the aircraft, the technology can enhance the accuracy of existing services such as Pre-Purchase-Inspections (PPIs), while offering potential for new services centered around predictive maintenance.
- Automated drone inspection with ClickToScan image capture workflow via intuitive tablet, with no pilot required
- Laser positioning and geofencing: no GPS or external sensors
- Fail-safe design and obstacle detection
- Accurate frame/stringer positioning of damages
- Detection of defects down to 1mm² and 0.1mm in depth
- Complete external surface coverage, including fuselage, wings, engine, nacelles, and tailplane
- Real-time mapping and automated report generation
- Digital record of past inspections
Applications
With high level of accuracy, identifying anomalies down to 1mm², this cutting-edge technology allows safe and precise deployment on high value aircraft or equipment.
- Regulatory General Visual Inspection
- Lightning strike check
- Pre-Purchased Inspection check
- Markings/placards check across multiple languages
- Pre-dispatch cosmetic survey
- Paint assessment, including thickness, gloss, and color
- Insurance claim
- Fleet analytics
- Paint aging assessment
Full inspection in 3 steps
1. Scan
- High resolution image acquisition by the drone
- One single flight can address multiple applications
2. Analyze & Report
- 3D visualization of the aircraft and automated image analysis, with results validated by inspector
- Automated report generation for GVI, paint wear, regulatory markings, lightning strikes, defects
3. Trace & Predict
- Hosting and sharing of data and reports on Cloud platform with remote access
- Digital history of past inspections for predictive maintenance
