3D MRO Job Card Publishing Method for Aircraft

Abstract:

In order to improve the accuracy of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) description and the clarity of on-site guidance for aircraft MRO job card, a publishing method for aircraft 3D MRO job card based on aircraft 3D model was proposed. This method can show the disassembly and assembly simulation process with dynamic viewpoint navigation technology to conform to the observation habit of human, and separately show technical requirements from different MRO disciplines and operation tasks with multi-view 3D annotation method, and finally, transforms the MRO order into 3D portable job card file based on lightweight model and releases it to MRO site. The MRO instance of aircraft right wing shows that this method can generate intuitive, accurate and non-ambiguous MRO process description, improve the quality and efficiency of aircraft MRO.
