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 plant and machinery continues to operate with identical characteristics.
The aim is to develop new technologies for maintenance and repair activities that simultaneously represent an upgrade, i.e. an improvement in the properties of the component. Improved properties in turn lead to higher efficiency and lower emissions.
The use of future technologies such as digital solutions or additive manufacturing processes can lead to product and process innovations that enable the extension of operating intervals. As part of the Werner von Siemens Centre, components, systems and machines will no longer be repaired in the traditional way, but will be equipped with better properties during repair thanks to new technologies: Upgrade instead of Repair.
For this purpose, new dynamic process chains are being developed in which the value creation steps are specified through digitization. Each component is to pass through an individual repair chain. This development will be demonstrated using the example of gas turbine blades, which can be operated at higher temperatures or with longer operating intervals after repair.
