Blade Damage Assessment: Introducing the New Dhalion Guidelines

To ensure consistency and accuracy, we train our AI with strict standards. Our AI suggests blade damage type and severity and every assessment is reviewed by trained Blade Experts aligned with the same classification standards.

We began using the Bladena Standards, and have now transitioned into a more comprehensive framework: the Dhalion Guidelines.

Compared to previous classifications, the Dhalion Guidelines include:

  • A wider range of damage types to ensure we capture the variability in all blade types and materials.
  • Visual references to support accurate identification to provide consistency between Blade Experts.
  • Depth: We now take into account the depth of the damages (e.g. surface, outer/inner layer, through etc) alongside the type to classify with the appropriate severity and next action for a damage.
  • Damage classification: We have expanded on the damage classification tables that objectively define the severity of a damage based on key clear parameters like type, location, size, depth.

While these are defined in the guidelines they are also built in our AI system directly allowing any blade expert using our system to follow the guideline easily.

These guidelines are available to all our customers and can be shared on request. Contact us
