Embraer adopts 3D inspection technology to boost aircraft maintenance
Embraer has taken another step forward in advancing its maintenance operations by integrating 8tree’s innovative dentCHECK inspection tool into its aircraft services facility in Nashville.
This move underscores Embraer’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive efficiency and precision across its global support network.
dentCHECK is the aviation industry’s only portable, fully wireless 3D scanner with integrated augmented reality. Specifically designed for aircraft maintenance, the tool delivers instant “go/no-go” analysis at the push of a button, dramatically reducing the time required for dent and surface inspections compared to traditional methods.
The introduction of dentCHECK is set to benefit Embraer’s entire fleet, including both commercial and executive jets, by improving inspection accuracy and accelerating turnaround times. This enhancement supports Embraer’s goal of minimising aircraft downtime while maintaining the highest standards of service.
Implementation of the tool will begin immediately, with comprehensive training and rollout across Embraer’s maintenance teams to ensure seamless integration.
Frank Stevens, vice president of global MRO centres for Embraer Services & Support, said: “We are pleased to partner with 8tree to keep adopting the best-in-class tools to support our customers. We expect that dentCHECK will help us to optimise even more the efficiency of our maintenance operations in Nashville.”
Arun Chhabra, chief executive of 8tree, said: “This partnership underscores our shared vision of leveraging technology to enhance aviation maintenance operations and deliver superior value to operators worldwide.
