Repetitive defect detection - faster and simpler than ever
Today, engineering teams and the Maintenance Control center face challenges, such as the time-consuming analysis of write-ups and technical logbook entries, which often requires manual correction due to spelling mistakes and incorrect ATA chapter assignments.
Our product Technical Repetitives Examination analyzes defects from all write-ups and detects cluster according to customizable criteria. Its algorithm, trained by Lufthansa Technik’s engineering expertise, immediately recognizes identical components and automatically assigns the associated logbook entries to the correct ATA chapter. The resulting graphical overview ensures that all the various defects of a specific component for the selected period and the entire fleet are fully recorded and evaluated.
