Work Package 1 | MRO Solutions
Smart MRO is a collaborative research initiative involving multiple partners aimed at advancing inspection methods and repair techniques for aircraft and aircraft engines. Current inspection methodologies predominantly rely on conventional tools, such as calipers, and human visual expertise. The advent of digital technologies offers significant advantages, including:**
Enhanced Repairability: New technologies can increase the number of reparable parts, thereby reducing scrap rates and environmental impact.
Digital Measurement and Automated Defect Detection: Implementing digital measurement and automated defect detection facilitates the inspection of larger quantities of parts, reducing unnecessary rejections.
Exploration of New Opportunities: These technologies enable predictive maintenance, smart work scoping, and optimised use of limited human resources.
To achieve the goals outlined in the Bright Sky project plan, WP1 has established multiple product teams, each led by different partners, focusing on specific aspects of Smart MRO. The diagram below provides a visual representation of the product teams and the partners involved, all centrally depicted. The red teams are working on overarching subjects, such as data integration and rules and legislation.
