How did Sabena technics, a specialist in aircraft maintenance and modification, move from traditional meetings and physical models to mixed reality, thereby gaining speed, agility, and precision?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our mixed reality experts and the human-machine interface that supported them in this transformation.

XR technology has improved efficiency, eliminated certain design risks, and strengthened understanding internally and, above all, among customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A concrete example of industrial innovation, where technology meets expertise for measurable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabena Technics<\/a> faced a major challenge: quickly and accurately validating the design and ergonomics of two cockpit versions as part of an avionics renovation project. Traditional methods\u2014lengthy meetings, 2D plans, and inflexible physical models\u2014no longer met their clients’ requirements for responsiveness and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore, we used to hold numerous meetings with the customer to present our studies. This left room for uncertainty and ambiguity. Physical models, which were complex and costly, did not allow for quick adjustments. Validations could take months.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in this context that Sabena technics called on Immersion, an expert in XR solutions, to rethink its approach to digital modeling in aeronautics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The solution: a hybrid approach combining mixed reality and tailored expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sabena technics\u2019 digital modeling department initiated this initiative with the goal of offering innovative approaches to simulation and collaboration around complex digital models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabena Technics partnered with Immersion, a specialist in extended reality and human-machine interfaces, to deploy a customized, integrated XR (extended reality) solution tailored for the aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
