Asset Sensor and Diagnostic Connectivity via the IoT
[wtm_use_case_cats] It is easier to embed micro computers in many devices and assets. The device will also be expected to easily connect and exchange data with other systems and centralized data repositories that will focus on analysis of exception and aggregate data in different dimensions. By relating the intelligence gathered to the different 3D model […]
Digital Thread and Digital Twin
[wtm_use_case_cats] The digital twin refers to a digital model of a particular asset that includes design specifications and engineering models describing its geometry, materials, components, and behavior, but more importantly it also includes the as- built and operational data unique to the specific physical asset which it represents. For example, for an aircraft, the digital […]
Automation with Robotics and UAVs
[wtm_use_case_cats] The rapidly expanding capabilities of autonomous equipment such as UAVs and robots are beingleveraged in MRO shops and some of the first applications are in automated inspection. For now, operators control the UAVs, either guiding the inspection or setting a predetermined pattern.The UAVs fly around aircraft, providing images of skin with the same detail […]
Advanced Guidance with Augumented Reality and Natural Language
[wtm_use_case_cats] Augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality is the ability to layer digital 3D images and virtual objects on top of the real- world images when seen through technologies such as smart glasses or hand-held tablet computers. AR may be able to recognize the asset a user looks at, overlay the points where service is […]
Advanced Analytical Capabilities
[wtm_use_case_cats] The idea is to analyze historical data patterns that are leading to device failures, find the leading indicators, and start using those patterns to predict failure before it happens again on the same device or other similar devices. The more data we have from similar devices or assets, the more accurate the prediction algorithms […]
