Ravi Guttal, CTO at precision manufacturing company Aequs that works with aerospace companies, says they today assess aircraft paint jobs using cameras. The cameras capture data, and then, leveraging a self-learning algorithm, it predicts whether the paint has the right gloss and thickness. “We train our painters using virtual reality and augmented reality, and that too happens leveraging data,” he said.
Data is the centrepiece of digital transformation, and that was the subject of our Friday++ discussion last week.
