As an exhibitor at the 2019 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) Conference, NLign Analytics announced the release of NLign Product Suite 7.1. "As the industry's only 3D structural analysis/decision support solution, NLign software provides detailed, complete and accurate fleet data in real time, further advancing ASIP management effectiveness," said a company spokesperson.
Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force and Navy, NLign software is employed throughout military and commercial applications, including Boeing, Northrop Grumman and more. NLign Analytics has supported the aircraft structural integrity initiative for years, and version 7.1 enhancements are the result of the company's experience and response from the ASIP community.
NLign Product Suite 7.1
"Major enhancements were made to analysis capabilities in release 7.1," said the spokesperson. These include the ability to combine multiple datasets, automate repetitive analyses and improve visualization. These capabilities were added to help ASIP managers make faster and more informed fleet management decisions.
Additionally, 7.1 includes features to strengthen the NLign Product Suite for enterprise-wide use. This delivers greater collaboration and management functionality such as data access controls, allowing organizations to control user access to each type of stored data. Changes to the data can be tracked, providing a record-for each data element-of when and who made modifications.
Digital 3D Data Environment
NLign Analytics develops powerful software solutions for aircraft manufacturing and maintenance applications. The uniqueness lies in the ability to align data to specific 3D locations on the physical asset and visualize the data in an intuitive 3D environment. "As the industry's sole provider of timely 3D data, ASIP Managers have come to trust NLign for faster, more informed and proactive decisions," said the spokesperson.
The NLign Product Suite consists of three integrated software tools:
- NCheck improves trust in data by capturing accurate 3D structured data right at the aircraft and then providing it in hi-fidelity to engineering in real-time.
- NLign is an interactive 3D data analysis tool that enables ASIP managers to quickly understand the health of their aircraft, allowing them to optimize inspection intervals and identify defect trends before they become fleet-wide problems.
- NThread provides easy access to quality data by organizing and archiving an aircraft's entire digital thread of information from manufacturing to maintenance, even connecting to existing databases.
Implementation Support: NLign Professional Services
"Introducing new applications does not have to be time-consuming or distracting. NLign works with your staff to accelerate learning and implementation. Our professional services are designed to meet each customer's specific requirements and applications," said the spokesperson.
NLign offers a wide range of services to accelerate implementation, maximize software investments and ensure ongoing success, including:
- Legacy data migration
- Hands-on training
- Dedicated support
- On-site technical staffing
"ASIP Managers are continually challenged to become even more responsive, efficient and exact," said NLign Analytics CEO Tom Sharp. "And today, that means embracing Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) technologies while leveraging fleet-wide digital engineering data. NLign aggregates data across an entire fleet, multiple bases and over time optimizes inspection intervals and identifies trouble spots. With new and enhanced features, based on valuable customer feedback, Product Suite 7.1 further enables organizations to achieve their ASIP objectives. This latest release represents a significant milestone for the ASIP community, current and future customers and our organization."
