Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies, has announced the launch of an AI-based aircraft engine analysis tool called Percept. This tool automates inspection and reduces time by approximately 90 per cent. It operates on top of the Awiros Video Intelligence Operating System and allows users to capture images and videos of engines on mobile devices and receive real-time responses on parts availability. The tool was developed in collaboration with Indian startup Awiros and is expected to be launched commercially later this year.
