Partners With Right Hemisphere To Develop Illustrated
Procedures Instructions
Eclipse Aviation has its earliest roots in the tech sector...
and to develop a new way to simplify its production and maintenance
operations, the company looked back there. The Albuquerque,
NM-based planemaker announced Thursday it will use a software suite
from Right Hemisphere to develop illustrated instructions from the
original 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) of the Eclipse 500
VLJ.
Representatives with the company tell ANN the software will help
Eclipse "generate consistent and transferable manufacturing and
maintenance procedures for use at its production facilities in
Albuquerque and its service centers in the United States."
"Eclipse Aviation strives to use the most advanced technology
available and the design of the Eclipse 500 was guided by this
principle," said Eclipse CEO Vern Raburn. "In our drive toward
continuous improvement, Eclipse will use the software from Right
Hemisphere to produce standardized graphic instructions for our
manufacturing and maintenance technicians, no matter where they
work."
Used by over 500 companies --
including several automotive, commercial aviation, and GA
manufacturers -- Right Hemisphere's fully-integrated software suite
will translate the Eclipse 500's complex design into interactive
production instructions. The company says this will reduce the time
required to create written production and maintenance directions,
and the interpretation needed to change engineering models into
production applications.
Additionally, when applied to the production line, Eclipse
technicians can visualize work as it is performed -- and make
improvements at any step in the production process. Transforming
the design of the Eclipse 500 into easy-to-use visual steps should
also reduce manufacturing and maintenance training time.
Founded in 1997, Right Hemisphere is a privately held,
venture-funded corporation based in Silicon Valley and Auckland,
New Zealand.
