In a nutshell, the application will help the engineer to cut through the ton of borescope pictures and videos captured during the inspection. The tool will visualise the location of the suspected damage helping to make the right decision faster. The ultimate purpose is further decreasing the engine Turnaround Time (TAT).

Below is the concept of the features and workflows:

Browsing pictures
Improving inspections results

Borescope inspection
Supporting the most sophisticated decision-making

Technical documentation
All maintenance manuals on fingertips

Junior assistance
Step-by-step instructions for junior engineers

Also the platform will provide historical data, such as pictures, video and notes from previous inspections. Often to make a decision on is a component scraped or not the engineer needs to refer if a particular scratch or notch already was there and how it’s changed during the time.

Whilst the initial borescope inspection an infrared 3D scan acquired which results with a set of spatial dots of damages. Our platform intended to map this data on a 3D hologram placed right before an engineer sight.

Technicians also can leave a notes on a each of components they are checking. That will make much more informative all pictures and videos.

For the moment the Reactor already has most of the features we described. Next we’ll back to borescope manufacturers to get a feedback and even started the testing on a field.
