"Aerospace industry 'reaches new heights', with AI+AR digital assembly becoming the key."
2024-07-03 18:02:00

As  the  aviation  equipment  industry  enters  a  "boom  period,"  accelerating  research  and  development,  as  well  as  validation,  has  become  the  main  theme,  and  the  assembly  stage  of  aviation  equipment  is  also  experiencing  further  "leaps."

How  to  continuously  enhance  the  precision  and  efficiency  of  assembly  remains  the  primary  challenge  facing  the  rapid  development  of  the  aviation  industry  today.

This issue, ALVA Systems will focus on the application and practice of AI/AR technologies in the digital assembly of the aviation industry, delving into the prominent advantages of AI/AR technologies in enhancing assembly precision and optimizing the process flow.

 

The  assembly  precision  and  efficiency  urgently  need  to  be  improved

Due  to  the  numerous  components,  coordination,  and  structural  complexity,  the  assembly  operations  in  the  aviation  industry  are  quite  challenging.  Although  modern  technologies  such  as  laser  calibration  and  computer  technology  have  begun  to  assist  in  this  process,  they  still  fail  to  meet  the  continuously  iterating  demands  of  localization.

The  current  assembly  process  still  faces  numerous  challenges:

◆ Digital  content  cannot  be  accurately  transmitted,  leading  to  low  assembly  efficiency;

◆ Collaboration  in  assembly  processes  is  difficult,  with  accumulated  errors  resulting  in  rework;

◆ Assembly  processes  have  not  yet  been  digitized,  still  relying  on  paper  or  electronic  design  drawings;

These  issues  all  have  a  profound  impact  on  the  efficiency  and  overall  performance  of  equipment  assembly.

However,  AI/AR  technology  combines  digital  information  with  the  real  working  environment,  accurately  transmitting  assembly  processes.  This  not  only  simplifies  the  assembly  process  but  also  ensures  the  effective  utilization  of  different  resources  with  real-time  step  guidance  and  feedback.

 

 

AI/AR  resolve  assembly  operation  challenges

 

 

Currently,  the  value  of  AI/AR  technology  in  enhancing  assembly  efficiency  and  precision  has  been  fully  validated  both  domestically  and  internationally,  and  it  has  begun  to  be  gradually  implemented  and  promoted.

ALVA,  as  an  industrial  AI+AR  application  expert,  has  accumulated  rich  experience  in  application  implementation  within  the  aviation  industry.  Previously,  it  collaborated  with  aviation  research  institutes  and  units  to  create  a  benchmark  effect  in  the  industry,  providing  important  references  for  the  digital  transformation  and  upgrading  of  numerous  organizations.

 

◆  AiR  Assembly  Guidance:  #Paperless,  #Real-time  Tracking,  #Collaboration  Among  Multiple  Users

To  enhance  assembly  efficiency,  the  ALVA  AiR  Assembly  Guidance  Application  integrates  design  drawings,  technical  documents,  and  assembly  procedures,  and  achieves  digital  upgrading  and  agile  transfer.

By  adopting  a  method  of  integrating  virtual  and  real  elements,  the  ALVA  AiR  Assembly  Guidance  Application  overlays  digital  assembly  procedures  onto  the  work  site.  Compared  to  laser  projection  positioning,  relying  on  the  real-time  tracking  and  positioning  capabilities  of  AI/AR,  it  can  adapt  to  limited  spaces  and  meet  the  needs  of  a  wider  range  of  assembly  scenarios.

Additionally,  it  supports  collaborative  work  among  multiple  users,  effectively  avoiding  errors  in  information  transmission  and  ensuring  the  accuracy  and  efficiency  of  assembly  operations.

 

◆ Assembly  Quality  Inspection  for  AiR:  #Dynamic  Comparison,  #Accurate  Prediction,  #Standardized  Operations

To  enhance  the  accuracy  of  quality  inspection,  the  ALVA  AiR  assembly  inspection  application  constructs  virtual  assembly  entities  and  process  requirements,  enabling  dynamic  comparison  and  detection.

Relying  on  advanced  AI/AR  technology,  it  accurately  compares  the  operation  results  with  the  design  data  to  determine  whether  the  assembly  positioning  is  correct.  In  addition,  it  can  predict  and  prompt  possible  incorrect  operations,  helping  to  standardize  the  behavior  of  operators,  optimizing  the  quality  inspection  process,  improving  inspection  quality,  and  significantly  shortening  the  inspection  cycle.

 

The  introduction  of  ALVA  AiR  technology,  which  can  accurately  capture  the  assembly  environment  and  integrate  operational  instructions  into  the  working  scenario,  has  effectively  resolved  assembly  issues.

In the future, ALVA Systems will continue to deepen its cooperation with aviation industry enterprises, empowering various aspects such as digital design, digital manufacturing, digital testing, digital delivery, and digital support, contributing to the strength of China's aviation industry.
