Aircraft maintenance and asset management provider, Magnetic MRO, is to start applying mixed reality-based aircraft skin inspection software developed by AerinX. With the high-tech system, external aircraft inspection processes can be significantly accelerated and streamlined.
Budapest-based AerinX’s first product is a mixed reality (MR) based software which makes external surface inspections on aircraft faster, simpler, more precise, and better-documented. The technology helps maintenance engineers identify damages precisely and accurately and reduces maintenance downtime up to 80 percent, according to the company.
The system project frames, stringers, and previous damages on the aircraft with advanced computer vision. Moreover, it automatically registers newly discovered damages and determines their exact location. The AerinX software also facilitates damage assessment with a preloaded manufacturer SRM database.
“We are excited about our partnership with AerinX as their MR-based inspection solution challenges the conventional ways of aircraft inspections. It makes the whole process faster for our technicians as well as has the potential to digitalize the entire process for improved efficiency,” said Sergei Shkolnik, Base Maintenance Director at Magnetic MRO.
