8tree’s Leonard Buck says: “When talking about automation, drones are the industry buzzword number one currently. At 8tree we keep our eyes open for other technologies as well. The Avinxt robotic automation cell is a beautiful example of an automation vision of the future without drones. The Avinxt vision is unique because it combines many different use-cases in one automation cell, leveraging ROI calculations and minimizing aircraft down-times."

chief executive and chief technical officer, 8tree, Erik Klaas adds: “Never before was it possible to automate aircraft inspection to this degree. We see a big potential not only in the case of hail damage assessment on the entire aircraft but also in cases where the aircraft changes ownership. This has always been an area with lots of debate which now can be resolved with an objective and quick process.”

Ove Troen, chief executive, Avinxt said, “By integrating 8tree’s technology with our robotics system, we can scan aircraft for damage. The system performs aircraft surface inspections with extreme precision within a few hours, compared to manual processes that take several weeks. We believe this service will be in high demand from airlines and leasing companies as it will significantly reduce costs.”
