Piedmont Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, has implemented dentCHECK at multiple hubs to enhance the efficiency and quality of its aircraft damage mapping and reporting activities.
CONSTANCE, GERMANY & RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, January 10, 2025.
The 8tree tool saves time and resources, more accurately collecting measurement data and removing a portion of human error.
“dentCHECK saves time and resources, more accurately collecting measurement data and removing a portion of human error”, said Paul Seiber, Technical Support Engineering Manager at Piedmont Airlines. “It can be difficult to get accurate dimensions of a dent because of the curvature of the fuselage, and each inspector may get a different result. dentCHECK is more consistent in measurement data, taking the guess work out of the equation. Within a few minutes of knowing about a dent, we can get in the aircraft manual looking for relief or sending the information to engineering. This is a valuable tool to use when needed.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Piedmont Airlines to 8tree’s expanding group of dentCHECK customers,” said Leonard Buck, Marketing Manager, 8tree. “Piedmont Airlines is now part of the rapidly growing global aviation community, which includes over four dozen airlines, MROs, and OEMs operating a wide range of commercial, cargo, business, and defense aircraft. These organizations rely on dentCHECK for comprehensive digital damage-mapping and reporting. We are excited to support Piedmont Airlines’ maintenance operations.”
The dentCHECK platform is the world’s only handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool that delivers AR-enabled 3D digital damage-mapping and reporting of aircraft. dentCHECK is recognized by all major aerospace OEMs. It can also be found integrated into drones and robotic automation cells. Leading Airlines & MROs across the Commercial, Military, Cargo and Business aviation sectors use 8tree’s dentCHECK tool and 8tree’s dentCHECK-as-a-service for mapping aircraft damage and creating detailed SRM-compliant digital damage reports.
