Endeavor Air has begun using 8tree’s ‘dentCHECK’ tool to enhance the efficiency and quality of its aircraft dent-mapping activities.
dentCHECK is a handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool that delivers AR-enabled 3D digital damage-mapping and reporting of aircraft and is recognised by all major aerospace OEMs.
Bob Olson, director of quality and training at Endeavor Air, said: “dentCHECK was the right device to expand our capabilities and advance Endeavor Air’s efforts of integrating more technology in our hangars.”
Endeavor Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. Flying as Delta Connection, Endeavor Air operates 130 regional jets on 700 daily flights to 126 destinations in the US, Canada and the Caribbean.
Olson added: “Our fleet readiness has greatly benefited from dentCHECK. The device has improved our team’s efficiency by expediting the repair determination process from our engineering team, and overall, dentCHECK has improved the time it takes to return our aircraft to an airworthy condition.”
Leonard Buck, marketing manager at 8tree, said: “Endeavor Air joins the rapidly growing global community of more than four dozen airlines, MROs and OEMs across a wide variety of commercial, cargo, business and defence aircraft, who rely on dentCHECK for verifiable end-to-end digital damage-mapping and reporting. We are genuinely looking forward to supporting Endeavor Air’s maintenance operations.”
8tree claims that with integrated AR, dentCHECK empowers the aircraft technician with instant, actionable measurements for critical airframe damage while boosting consistency (18x), accuracy (20x), efficiency (90% time-savings) and eliminating human-subjectivity, compared to traditional manual inspection methods.
