Framework

The I2AM project aims at modernization and technological advancement through innovation and the introduction of information technologies, in the aeronautical industry, in the context of industrial aircraft modification maintenance.

 

 

The challenges of the project also include the need to maintain all technological development in full compliance with the high standards of aeronautical regulations in general. The innovation employed will have to introduce these new technologies in areas that are typically not very permissive to new ideas and tools, due to the huge set of rules that must be respected.

Proposed solution

Application of new disruptive technologies, in the context of aeronautical industrial maintenance, meeting the following results: ​​​​

 

 

  • Implementation of new technologies: Artificial Intelligence algorithms, simulation based on digital twin, digitalization and application of computer vision technologies (AR and VR)

  • Rapid prototyping and “3D printing” processes and technologies applied to the modification of aircraft and equipment
  • Carrying out studies on human factors and usability of technology in the aeronautical industry
  • Digitization of information and adoption of “paperless” methodologies in the industrial context
  • Compliance with civil aeronautical regulations (Part-145)

 

 

CCG CONTRIBUTION

CCG/ZGDV contributes to the I2AM project, through the I&I, CVIG and HTIR departments, with the development and application of RA, VR and RM technologies, to increase efficiency in the process of collecting elements for aircraft modification.  

 

 

 

Validation of virtual prototypes:

  • Virtual reality-based solution for cockpit prototyping (digital refinement before production), which allows continuous iteration between conception and validation, meeting a human-centered approach

 

Remote and computer assistance, with mixed reality and augmented reality technologies: 

  • Remote and computer assistance, with mixed reality and augmented reality technologies
