Being able to be in two places at once has been a dream for many metrologists in the measurement services business. Taking a page from the field of artificial intelligence (AI), ATT Metrology developed an “Expert System” to perform a wide range of measurement tasks based on more than 20 years of hands-on experience serving customers in the metrology field. By embedding this knowledge into an automated framework, we have enabled our technicians to be in not just two, but many places at once.

The measurement process needed to allow field technicians to perform measurements on an as-needed basis. The process also had to ensure accurate data collection and produce useful information to the engineering and design staff in charge of the modifications. The ATT team proposed and delivered a dedicated software program to address the customer’s airframe measurement needs, which provides real-time data feedback on location and ensures measurement quality.
