Internet of Drones Applications in Aviation MRO Business Services
Published in Arun Solanki, Sandhya Tarar, Simar Preet Singh, Akash Tayal, The Internet Of Drones, 2023
The study concludes that MRO Business Services require research and investment in technologies like drones, machine learning (ML) and cloud applications to support the maintenance process. This will lead to operations that are more effective, optimized technician schedule for each work plan as well as improved turnaround times, which could be achieved through accurate and faster inspections delivery plan and maintenance design plan and execution actions. This will achieve in higher customer satisfaction, which will altogether build richer data pattern for the operator to analyzes that will lead to reliable maintenance plan and execution capabilities in future operations. Besides improving, the accuracy in inspection next generation of drone’s automation will still require a human interference to set up more instructions as per the individual business needs. With the help of visual processing algorithms integrated with IT application will enable the drone application to send maintenance work orders straight to the respective technician as soon as a fault has identified.

The contractor may perform evaluation of the end-item system as part of the original contract agreement, either as a one-time scheduled activity in the form of a post-installation review, described previously, or as a warranty arrangement whereby the contractor reviews and maintains the system for a pre-specified time period. The contractor might sign an “extended” agreement with the customer to provide preventive maintenance and system repairs, upgrades, and overhauls on a continuing basis and assign system representatives and technicians to the customer site to perform these services on a scheduled basis or as requested by the user. Providing services for system maintenance, repair, and overhaul is commonly referred to as MRO.

Approved maintenance organizations (AMOs) are facilities that offer maintenance services to air operators. Annex 6 specifies international requirements for AMOs. AMOs must be approved by a CAA, and that approval is typically limited to a particular type of maintenance (aircraft structure, avionics, engine, propeller, and so on) and must indicate the licensed certifying maintenance professional who has the authority to sign the maintenance release. Maintenance organizations are also commonly referred to as maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities. Therefore, it is common to see them expressed as AMO/MRO.
An overview of self-engineering systems
Published in Journal of Engineering Design, 2021
Industry 4.0 is used to describe the current shift to more automated manufacturing, including utilising new data processing, connected sensors and improved machine-to-machine communication (Lasi et al. 2014). With the development of Industry 4.0 well underway, maintenance and repair processes are changing, with more connectivity and cyber-physical systems being utilised. The decreasing cost of sensors and monitoring systems has enabled manufactures and operators to have more detailed data about products and systems. Research conducted over the last decade has focused on using this data to predict failures, diagnose problems and optimise MRO procedures. This can form the foundation for future SE monitoring systems (or self-monitoring, self-diagnosing and self-modelling systems).
A supporting framework for estimating trade-off between cost and availability at equipment level: development and application in the aircraft MRO industry

While doing MRO, the repair activities can be mainly in the form of preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM). PM in aircraft includes regular inspections and testing of LRUs to identify probable failures beforehand to prevent a breakdown during mission deployment. The ‘run to failure’ principle governs CM, where fault correction happens upon occurrence. In military aircraft, the full PM schedule of aircraft is a costly affair. Moreover, even the best PM schedule may not wholly eradicate occasional faults in aircraft due to the high number of LRUs, complexities, and non-predictability of fault types. CM actions negatively affect availability and constitute a significant portion of an aircraft’s non-operational life cycle.
A multi-objective stochastic programming model for project-oriented human-resource management optimization

The primary concerns of MRO are downtime, quality, and cost. The quality of MRO activities depends on the quality of labors worked in the MRO project (Borkowski, 2007). Four types of MRO activities, including aircraft heavy maintenance overhaul, component MRO, line maintenance, and engine overhaul, are considered. Labor cost is the main part of the expenses in heavy maintenance overhaul, component MRO, and line maintenance projects. As a result, the team of MRO project has a profound effect on both quality and cost of MRO project. Therefore, developing a mathematical model that helps DM to build a MRO project team by considering both the quality of the tasks and labor cost is very desirable.
