Drilling grid, drill rig and method for supervising at least one operation for drilling an aircraft structural part

A drilling grid comprising:

• a main body designed to be attached to an aeronautical structural part and having through holes for positioning a machine for drilling the aeronautical structural part;
• wherein it further comprises:
• a long-range wireless communication device attached to the main body, having a range of at least ten meters and designed to communicate with a supervision system;
• a data processing unit attached to the main body and designed to send to the supervision system, via the long-range wireless communication device, information relating to the drilling grid and/or the drilling machine positioned in one of the positioning holes;
• and
• at least one short-range wireless communication device, wherein each short-range wireless communication device is attached to the main body and respectively associated with each positioning hole, each short-range wireless communication device having a range of at most five centimeters and designed for communicating with the drilling machine positioned in the associated positioning hole;
• wherein the data processing unit is further designed to receive torque and/or thrust data from a cutting tool of the drilling machine, via the short-range wireless communication device associated with each positioning hole in which the drilling machine is positioned;
• and
• wherein the information sent to the supervision system via the long-range wireless communication device comprises the torque and/or thrust data.
