Each tool in more detail

Waygate Technologies InspectionWorks

Waygate describes InspectionWorks as an NDT software platform that standardizes aircraft maintenance inspections and integrates with its MViQ(+) and Mentor Flex borescopes. Inspections are templated as menu-directed inspections (MDIs) launched on the borescope. Data uploads automatically, with Real3D measurement and AI, and reports generate from the MDI and can be shared with asset owners and engine manufacturers.

Waygate and GE Aerospace have also announced AI-assisted defect recognition for the Mentor Visual iQ+.

Worth a close look if your shop is standardized on Waygate videoscopes and wants templated inspections.

Evident ViSOL

ViSOL Desktop handles data management, remeasurement, report generation and wireless transfer. ViSOL Cloud adds managed workflow, collaboration and an analytics dashboard. It's optimized for IPLEX videoscopes, and Evident says it can consolidate data from virtually any device; wireless transfer works with IPLEX GX/GT and G Lite/GL-W on software version 1.40 or later.

ViSOL runs on Evident Connect on Microsoft Azure, and Evident cites SOC 2 Type I compliance and alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Worth a close look if you run an IPLEX fleet and want structured data management and reporting.

Aiir (Pratt & Whitney)

Aiir Innovations was founded in Amsterdam in 2016, and its stated goal is full automation of borescope inspection analysis. Pratt & Whitney announced on July 15, 2026 that it's integrating Aiir's AI-assisted borescope software across its MRO operations. It says the software is already rolled out to commercial customers and MRO providers, with configurable reporting.

Worth a close look if you work mainly on Pratt & Whitney engines or within its MRO network.

AirCheck by InspectView

AirCheck reviews borescope video frame by frame, flags possible cracks, TBC spall, coating loss, wear and FOD, and groups findings by engine stage on a green, orange and red map. Each finding cites the chapter and page of the customer's indexed manual, or says "manual match pending" when the manual isn't indexed. The inspector accepts, edits or rejects every finding and signs the PDF report; AirCheck never signs. It runs on the web and on Android with offline capture, and includes a general visual inspection (GVI) mode.

Worth a close look if you use more than one borescope brand and want AI triage with manual citations and inspector sign-off.

How to choose

1. Start with your borescopes. If your fleet is one brand, that maker's software will integrate most tightly.
2. Decide how much you want AI to do, then test it on your own footage. These eight questions help.
3. Check the report. It should match your customers' formats and your approved procedures.
4. Check the data terms. Who owns the footage and reports, and can you export everything?
5. Weigh the vendor's position. Tools from borescope and engine makers integrate deeply with their own hardware and engines; independent tools aim to work across brands.
