The latest inspection, measurement, and digital twinning technologies were on display at the Farnborough International Airshow showing how they can help reduce the MRO backlog and keep aircraft flying.

Aviation Business News was given a demonstration of some of the hardware solutions developed by Hexagon including hand-held laser scanners, an inspection device that can run autonomously, and digital facilities scanner to optimise efficiency.

In this episode of ABNcast we spoke to Aziz Tahiri, Hexagon’s vice president of aerospace and defence, about the practical uses of these technologies and devices and why MROs and airlines are adopting them today to address capacity constraints.

Hexagon’s metrology-grade scanning equipment is used widely in aviation as well as in a variety of other sector including Formula One motor racing in which the firm is a long-term partner of he Red Bull team.
