First MRO milestone meeting of Phase II successfully held
The first milestone meeting in Phase II of the research project Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul 2.0 (MRO 2.0 for short) took place on July 10, 2023 after already 7 months of project work. Reason enough to present and discuss the project results achieved so far with all project partners to the VDI/VDE and the Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB).

Kick-Off MRO Phase II
The research project was officially launched in summer 2020 and despite all the adversities of the pandemic, we were able to successfully report our milestones for the sixth time on January 25, 2023. Thanks to the technical expertise of the research partners and SMEs as well as the excellent collaboration in all work packages, we were able to present the milestones from the technology fields of materials, digitization and additive manufacturing and complete Phase I successfully and according to schedule. Without much breathing space, Phase II was started on January 19, 2023, with a focus on human-machine interaction, sustainability and networking.

Science, research and education
Maintenance, repair and overhaul refers to the classic maintenance and repair business used to overhaul components, plant and machinery. Typically, this is done through static repair process chains in which the same value-adding steps are carried out continuously. After repair or maintenance, the plants and machines continue to operate with identical characteristics.
The goal is to upgrade instead of classical repair. Development of new technologies for repairs in an expediently automated and digitized refurbishment process chain including upgrades for highly efficient gas turbines.
Components in gas turbines, e.g. the turbine blades, are subject to constant wear due to corrosion and oxidation. They are regularly removed, repaired and then operated again with the same running times or – after certain intervals – replaced altogether.
The use of future technologies such as additive manufacturing processes and digital solutions such as the twin can result in product and process innovations that enable operating intervals to be extended. In addition, improved properties can contribute to greater efficiency and lower emissions.
