dent & buckle Announces Integration with 8tree©

8tree is the world's leading supplier of AR-enabled 1-click 3D surface inspection tools - including dentCHECK© for 3D dent-mapping - to the aviation and aerospace industries. This integration combines dent & buckle's powerful defect management software and 8tree's advanced surface inspection technology, creating a truly streamlined solution for the aviation industry.
This integration allows technicians to quickly link the measurement results and reports from dentCHECK© with the relevant defect record raised within dent & buckle. The detailed dent & buckle reports will automatically include this dentCHECK information.
The integration aims to make it easier and faster for maintenance teams to assess, track, and manage aircraft structural defects with:
Greater Precision:
8tree's ISO17025-accredited surface inspection tools provide precise measurements of surface damage, which are included in dent & buckle's defect records.
Improved Efficiency:
The integration facilitates rapid damage assessment and recording, reducing aircraft downtime and maintenance costs while increasing operational efficiency.
Detailed Reporting:
The integration enables easy generation of detailed reports that include 3D visuals and exact measurements, simplifying communication with maintenance crews and regulatory authorities.
"It has been a fantastic experience to work with the 8tree team. We quickly realized that we provide complimentary solutions to the aviation industry and that by integrating them, we will deliver significant value to the market. I am looking forward to growing our ongoing collaboration".
Michal Schutty, CEO of dent & buckle.
