1 Optimising process management in aerospace inspection services through digitisation Torsten Winterfeldt CEO / Managing Partner /PACSESS NDT Julius-Bamberger Str.4 // D Bremen

2 PACSESS NDT PACSESS NDT is a business unit of Larivière Gesellschaft für digitale Präsentationssysteme mbh in Bremen. We develop, deliver and integrate digital solutions for optimized visualization and DICONDE compliant archiving of data and images for industrial applications as well as any form of material testing. In addition to digitizing x-ray films of virtually any size (no length limitation), we offer solutions for the optimized archiving of all industry-specific image data and reports, analysis of X-ray images (CR, DR and analog) as well as optimized 3D visualization of computed tomography data.

3 Current Situation One of the most time- and cost consuming topics in the aviation and aerospace sector is the inspection service management. Thousands of components, pipes, welds and other parts must be checked and inspected. The parts must be inspected with radiography, ultrasound or other systems. This process is always based on the following steps: 1. Planning Which parts must be controlled by when? 3. Preparation What is needed for the set-up? Who should do the inspection? When exactly the inspection should happen? 2. Order Management Make sure that the right parts will be inspected at the right time with the right equipment. 4. Execution The execution process is divided in two steps: a. Set up the needed inspection service equipment at the right location. b. Generate images, data and reports 5. Storing / saving images and reports The archiving process is relevant for accessing the inspection data anytime.

4 Big Data in the Aerospace Industry X-Ray images (10 to 50 MB) CT images (> 2 GB) Integrate different test methods into 1 dedicated component/part inspection and create / integrate test reports Store / Archive studies in one format locally Exchanging big data files and reports with other locations, service providers and ev. customers absolutely secure and very easy Set up a company specific order management tool and combine this with existing ERP, MOM, EIS, etc. Accessing data (not only summaries) everytime wherever you are

5 Digital Conversion Industries converted: Letters, reports, etc. Photography Medical Radiography NDT last to convert B U T : a lot of analog applications or an evironment, which is not prepared for digital exist! How to integrate analog images in the digital workflow?

6 Analog solution for x-ray imaging The current main used solution is the lightning box.

11 Planning- Order & Preperation Management 1. Planning Which parts must be controlled by when? What is needed for the inspection? Who or which department is responsible for it? By when the inspection must be done? 2. Order Management Make sure that the right parts will be inspected at the right time with the right equipment and from whom. 3. Preperation What is need for the set-up? When exactly the inspection will happen? Centralized planning with connection to CRM, ERP system Semi- or complete automatical planning & order process for recurrent inspections (petrochemical, refineries, manufacturers of parts, machines, etc.) Orders will be recognized just the moment when they have to be done and what has to be prepared Image & report data will be saved automatically to the order (no manual typing, no wrong folders, etc.)

12 User Area Orders and specific data for it will only be recognized by the responsible person.

13 Execution: Image & Measurement Data-Management Generate image data and archive them on a dedicated server (internally / externally). Videos CT-Data X-Ray data Ultrasonic data and a lot of other proprietary data can be migrated Photos Weld data

14 Execution: Report Data-Management Reporta and attachments Report includes image data Making measurements directly Export to PDF DICONDE Exchange and archive reports / attachements

15 Visualization and Measurement (CT / X-Ray)

16 Visualization and Measurement (CT / X-Ray)

17 Archiving and Search Functions Implementing all image data and reports in one data base structure (DICONDE-Container) Centralized archiving of data for future inspections / controls, also recurrent inspections QR-Code-Integration

18 Data Accessibility and -Exchange With AcuScreen NDT Exchange, we have developed the first purely web-based transmission app that ensures the exchange of large image data with attached reporting data, with the highest security. The data is not stored in a cloud. It remains in the secure environment of the "manufacturer".

19 Secure web-based access Today, large image data is still sent via CD or DVD, which naturally means that the data is either saved twice or the data carriers are used as archive, which is not much different than an analog archive, especially since the physical volumes are also lost Or can be destroyed. Some of our customers have also used Dropbox or other cloud storage devices that are not secure, and so on. The German data protection law. Apart from the critical security aspect, all these solutions have a further disadvantage: they do not provide for a logical basic structure and automatic aggregation of the data and reports. Due to the file structure DICONDE used by us these topics are a thing of the past and the work over longer distances or cooperation with external specialists can be done efficiently and safely.

20 Data Accessibility and -Exchange AcuScreen NDT Exchange is the first purely web-based transmission app that ensures the exchange of large image data with attached reporting data, with the highest security. Accessible from every webbrowser On each device (IOS, Android, Windows) Anytime Anywhere Highly secured No up- / download is needed

21 Data Accesibility and -Exchange

22 Achievements Conversion from analog to digital One complete set-up for analog and digital x-rays One software tool for planning, orders, measurements, archiving and transferring big data files Secure access from anywhere at anytime only for registered persons and dedicated only to dedicated studies Improving quality Supporting QM Saving time Saving money Optimizing communication
