NLign Analytics is the leader in structural integrity 3D digital data capture and analysis for Aerospace and Defense applications. NLign Analytics has been recognized by the Secretary of Defense’s Office as an innovative solution to enable the Digital Engineering strategy of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). This webinar will highlight how the US Air Force, US Navy, and OEMs reduce sustainment costs, improve aircraft availability, and meet safety requirements by utilizing NLign’s technology in selected aircraft programs. Examples of how NLign’s technology puts the right 3D product quality data in front of the right engineering decision-makers to help our warfighters maintain battlefield readiness and air superiority will be shared.

Do any of the following statements resonate with you?
If so, plan to join us on November 24th.

  • We experience cost overruns due to design rework and manufacturing defects late in the product release cycle.
  • We have missed aircraft delivery and deployment schedules due to part availability and disposition delays.
  • We have an inability to achieve individual aircraft in service availability as well as fleet uptime targets.
  • Our decision-making is non-optimal due to turn backs, change orders, and missed failures.
  • Our warfighting superiority and pilot safety is no longer assured with multiple foreign adversaries.

By attending this webinar, you will:

  • Gain an understanding about how manufacturing and operations structural defect identification data, combined with 3D digital design data, can reduce operations costs, improve manufacturing quality, and improve fleet readiness/availability.
  • Understand the impact of combining the right product status data with 3D visualization and performance analytics and its influence on collaborative decision-making.
  • Find out how you can meet aircraft structural certifications and requirements.
  • Better understand the actual state and condition of your aircraft and fleet allowing you to plan for downtime and repairs before serious failures occur.

Who should attend?

  • Government/DoD personnel and prime contractors to the DoD
  • Managers and engineers from commercial airlines, air freight companies, and service depots
  • Quality professionals
  • Systems engineers
