Inspection System Goals
 
   | 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Purpose of the Inspection System | 
 
 
   | 
  Simplify inspection process for
  maintenance personnel | 
 
 
   | 
  Streamline inspection process | 
 
 
   | 
  Modernize the inspection process
  through use of IETMs  instead of
  legacy paper manuals | 
 
Requirements of Inspection
System
 
   | 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Core | 
 
 
   | 
  Ability to download, interact with IETM
  based workorders for inspection tasks | 
 
 
   | 
  Placement of virtual stickies | 
 
 
   | 
  Upload virtual stickies to maintenance
  system | 
 
 
   | 
  Capacity to operate in adverse
  conditions | 
 
 
   | 
  Optional | 
 
 
   | 
  Use of PEDD, HMD | 
 
 
   | 
  Non standard, easy to use input device | 
 
Other “Fancy” Requirements
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Wireless connection to maintenance
  system, AR model | 
 
 
   | 
  Use of sophisticated data glove
  pointing device | 
 
A Day in the Life of a STARS
Inspector
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Overview | 
 
 
   | 
  Typical tasks an Inspector would face | 
 
 
   | 
  Scenario designed to show how basic
  functionality of inspection system will be achieved | 
 
The Day Begins
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Inspector logs in to maintenance system
  to download workorders for the day | 
 
 
   | 
  Connects, calibrates equipment | 
 
 
   | 
  Logs out to begin performing inspection | 
 
Onward to the Hangar
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Inspector arrives at plane to perform
  inspection on. | 
 
 
   | 
  Steps through items in workorder
  recording discrepancies | 
 
A Problem Arises
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Inspector records discrepancy
  information | 
 
 
   | 
  Location recorded via AR interface | 
 
A Job Well Done
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  After completing work, inspector
  returns to maintenance depot | 
 
 
   | 
  Stickies and workorders are downloaded
  to maintenance system | 
 
Boundaries of Inspection
System
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Concerned primarily with placement and
  recording of virtual stickies, display of workorders | 
 
 
   | 
  Determination of location handled via
  AR | 
 
 
   | 
  Display of airplane model information
  is the concern of AR | 
 
 
   | 
  Speech recognition, synthesis
  technologies for system are handled by Repair team | 
 
Open Issues
 
   | 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  Workorders | 
 
 
   | 
  How created, authored | 
 
 
   | 
  How related to stickies | 
 
 
   | 
  Lifetime of workorders | 
 
 
   | 
  New sub-team created to deal with these
  issues | 
 
 
   | 
  Sticky placement technology | 
 
 
   | 
  AR, Modeling teams are handling | 
 
 
   | 
  Main interaction for Inspection system
  is through AR | 
 
Conclusion
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  STARS Inspection represents a
  significant advance over existing, paper-based inspection system | 
 
 
   | 
  Easier to use, enhanced flow of
  information | 
 
 
   | 
  Some open issues still, but these are
  being dealt with |
