Automated dent mapping –

The IRIS dentCHECK drone

8tree collaborates with industry-leading UAV companies, like Donecle, to create automated flying versions of 8tree’s popular 3D surface inspection tools.

An automated Donecle drone equipped with 8tree’s dentCHECK has successfully completed a year-long field trial for inspecting French military aircraft.
Such a ‘flying dentCHECK’ promises to expedite commercial aircraft inspection and reporting after extreme hail events and in areas that are difficult to reach.

Automated fastener inspection –
Robot integration

fastCHECK, 8tree’s tool for 1-click fastener inspection, can be implemented in automated production lines and quality control landscapes.

The tool comes with an industry-standard EtherNet/IP interface for easy integration into your robotic landscape.
