AI-VET aircraft component inspection
ST Engineering reported up to 83% shorter landing-gear inspections with a camera-equipped robotic arm
Problem
Growing aircraft maintenance demand put pressure on inspection capacity. ST Engineering needed faster ways to inspect components at its Singapore maintenance facilities.
Approach
ST Engineering used AI-VET, a camera-equipped robotic arm, to inspect aircraft components. The system inspected landing gear at its new Changi Creek maintenance facility. The company used the facility to test technologies before expanding them elsewhere.
Results
Takeaway
The reported time saving applied to landing-gear inspection. It did not measure the turnaround time for an entire aircraft.
