Inspection & Maintenance

Every finding, anchored to the asset

A unified spatial data layer that connects inspection results to the physical asset and its digital twin.

Inspection data is scattered.

Teams inspect vehicles, aircraft, components, welds, and coatings with several methods on the same asset: eddy-current, X-ray, 3D model generation, tactile sensing, corrosion detection. Each produces its own measurements, images, reports, or capture files, usually stored in separate tools.

Without a shared view, findings lose their connection to where they occurred.

Where workflows break down

  • Coverage gaps

    Hard to confirm every required area was examined.

  • Lost locations

    Findings are hard to trace to their exact spot.

  • Siloed results

    Inspection data can’t be compared side by side.

  • Slow handoffs

    Evidence doesn’t flow into repair decisions.

Meet SPIDER Inspection & Maintenance

A spatial data layer on top of your existing process

SPIDER tracks inspection tools in real time and anchors every reading to its location on the physical part and its digital twin, on one unified data layer.

How you inspect doesn’t change. The equipment, procedures, and measurements stay the same; SPIDER adds the location, the record, and the review.

You keep

  • Your inspection equipment
  • Your procedures
  • Your measurements

SPIDER adds

  • Exact location of every finding
  • One digital record per asset
  • XR, tablet, or desktop review

How it works

One connected workflow: measure with your existing tools, analyze every layer on one 3D model, act on location-anchored findings.

  • MeasureCapture data with your existing tools and anchor it to the asset automatically.
  • AnalyzeReview data layers on one 3D model, filtered by tool, region, date, or status.
  • ActTurn location-anchored findings into clear direction for repair and quality.

Five steps

  1. Model

    Build or import a 3D model of the asset.

  2. Register

    Align the model with the physical part.

  3. Map

    Anchor captures and readings to exact locations.

  4. Verify

    Flag required areas not yet inspected.

  5. Act

    Direct follow-up, repair, and acceptance.

Works with your existing equipment; no new inspection system required.

Built around your existing process

  • Device-agnostic

    Works with your current equipment and procedures.

  • Flexible integration

    APIs, SDKs, network interfaces, or file exports.

  • Coverage verification

    Highlights required areas left incomplete.

  • Unified review

    Defects, images, and point clouds on one twin.

  • Traceable records

    Spatially anchored history for every asset.

  • XR or desktop

    Headsets, tablets, or workstation interfaces.

Inspection methods

Works with the methods you already run

Each method keeps its own instrument and workflow. SPIDER adds the location of every reading and one shared record per asset.

Eddy-current
Registers scan data to the matching location on the panel.
Tactile 3D sensing
Maps tool readings and defects onto the digital twin.
3D model generation
Ingests captured geometry to build the asset’s reference model.
X-ray
Places digital X-ray files using placement references.
Paint-process
Verifies masking, stencil, and coating coverage.
Other systems
Connects through available APIs, SDKs, or exported files.

One spatial record for every asset

Built for maintenance depots, repair facilities, aerospace manufacturing, and industrial sustainment.

  • Vehicles
  • Aircraft
  • Components
  • Welds
  • Coatings
  • Complex assemblies

Critical Use Cases

CRITICAL USE CASE

SPIDER Inspection Kit

A self-contained, deployable inspection system: local compute, isolated network, headset, tablet, and your chosen instrument in one transportable case. No cloud, no internet, no enterprise network. Every modality feeds one unified record.

CRITICAL USE CASE

NDI: 3D Tactile Sensor

A tactile sensor captures high-resolution surface topography: dents, scratches, corrosion. SPIDER tracks it in real time and anchors each capture to its exact location on the part and digital twin.

CRITICAL USE CASE

NDI: Eddy Current Probe

SPIDER tracks the probe in 6DoF, traces the inspection path with coordinates, and overlays its live pose on the digital twin, so coverage is verifiable and any finding can be relocated exactly for repair.

CRITICAL USE CASE

NDI: Microwave Inspection Overlay

Microwave inspection reveals delaminations, disbonds, moisture ingress, and thickness variation in composites and coatings. SPIDER overlays scan results onto the part and its twin, anchored in place.

CRITICAL USE CASE

NDI: Liquid Penetrant Testing

SPIDER automatically detects and classifies surface-breaking defects revealed by the penetrant, with marker-based sizing and instant pass/fail reports, removing subjective visual judgment from the process.

CRITICAL USE CASE

Paint Masking Validation

SPIDER identifies the areas to be masked and works through each stage with the technician. Completed regions are marked done, building a validated digital work record and a fully traceable history of the job.
