8tree’s dentCHECK-as-a-Service™ digitally mapped and reported hail damage on the control surfaces of B777 and A220 aircraft operated by Swiss International Air Lines.
CONSTANCE, GERMANY & RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 30, 2023
More than 1,500 dents were digitally mapped and reported by 8tree’s dentCHECK-as-a-Service (daaS) at Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) hangars in Zurich, Switzerland. The control surfaces of a B777 and an A220 had been damaged in a hailstorm. 8tree’s service engineers used the dentCHECK dent-mapping tool to digitally map and report all dents on the affected areas, efficiently and effectively.
“We are very satisfied with the service provided by 8tree”, says Claus Bauer, Head of Technical Division at SWISS. “The automated dentCHECK-tool helped us to record hail damage quickly and completely so that we could rectify it promptly. This enabled us to return the aircraft concerned to flight operations in airworthy condition as quickly as possible, which is of key importance to us as an airline.”
“We are excited that Swiss International Air Lines decided to perform the dent-mapping on two hail damaged aircraft with 8tree’s service capabilities”, said Erik Klaas, CTO, 8tree. “As the first Swiss airline, they joined the growing base of dentCHECK-as-a-Service customers who disposition hail damage affected aircraft using our dentCHECK tool. We look forward to continuing Swiss International Airlines maintenance operations.”
The dentCHECK platform is the world’s only handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool with integrated AR that is purpose-built for the aviation maintenance industry and recognized by all major aerospace OEMs. It can also be found integrated into drones and robotic automation cells.

8tree extends its automation inspection portfolio by partnering with Avinxt for robotic aviation inspection system.
CONSTANCE, GERMANY & RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 22, 2023
8tree’s 3D inspection engines can be found in the hands of human operators, mounted on drones, and integrated into robotic automation cells.
The automatic robotics system from Avinxt for fully automated aircraft de-icing, washing and engine wash will debut at Avinor Oslo Airport (OSL), where the robot will be built in 2024. The robot, which replaces the current manual and time-consuming processes, is faster, more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective than traditional methods.
“By integrating 8tree’s technology with our robotics system, we can scan aircraft for damage. The system performs aircraft surface inspections with extreme precision within a few hours, compared to manual processes that take several weeks. We believe this service will be in high demand from airlines and leasing companies as it will significantly reduce costs,” said CEO Ove Trøen of Avinxt.
“We are excited to work with Avinxt on this very novel robotic inspection concept”, said Erik Klaas, CTO and Co-Founder at 8tree. “Never before was it possible to automate aircraft inspection to this degree. We see a big potential not only in the case of hail damage assessment on the entire aircraft but also in cases where the aircraft changes ownership. This has always been an area with lots of debate which now can be resolved with an objective and quick process.”
