Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul

Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) refers to any action, including tests, measurements, replacements, and adjustments, that helps to maintain or restore products, machinery, tooling, or plants to their working conditions. Planned, predictive, preventative, and corrective maintenance are the main forms of overhaul.

As structure engineers or maintenance managers, you are responsible for the integrity of parts, equipment, or infrastructure. You are in charge of characterizing and repairing defects according to the acceptance criteria detailed in the manufacturer’s manual. To do so, you have to find and apply the right repair methods or contact the OEM to determine if the measured data exceeds the acceptance criteria. Unreliable data and unrepeatable results complicate your work, as do user-dependent measurements. How can you characterize damages and take corrective actions if the measured data on the same structure differs from one operator to another? More importantly, how can you make the right repair decision knowing that important operational and safety issues are often at stake?

Creaform Solution

With Creaform’s metrology-grade 3D scanners, you can feel confident in the measured results. Data are now repeatable and reliable, regardless of the operator’s experience and skill. Thus, you can make the right repair decision and get the structure back on service quickly.

Efficient, versatile, OEM-approved, and simple 3D scanning tools and software are the solutions to fulfill your goals and overcome your challenges.

  • Efficiency:

    With the highest measurement rate, easy reporting and user independence, the time-to-useable data occurs in minutes, saving precious acquisition and analysis time.
  • Versatility:

    With advanced laser and optical technologies and limitless scanning volumes, 3D scanners can measure a variety of part sizes, materials, finishes, and difficult surfaces in different work environments and applications.
  • Industry standard:

    With the OEMs’ approval, Creaform technology is compliant with the service letter of the most important OEMs as well as being part of their official service equipment catalog.
  • Simplicity:

    With plug-and-play devices and user-friendly interfaces, operators take measurements quickly and reliably.

3D scanning plays a crucial role in metallurgical plant's

Digging the Most Critical Areas Based on the Performance of Correlated ILI Tools

The economic impact of digging areas in which no critical repairs are needed and omitting areas where potential failures could abruptly occur depends on one factor: the performance of in-line inspection (ILI) techniques. Therefore, it is important to verify the reliability of these ILI tools that use ultrasonic testing (UT) or magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing to detect and size damages and irregularities in pipelines.

Optimizing Hail Damage Assessment to Reduce the Grounding Time of Damaged Aircraft

Hailstorms are among the most unpredictable and sudden of all weather patterns, capable of causing extensive damage to flying airplanes. In some cases, the fuselage can be partially or entirely damaged, compromising the aircraft’s lift. The grounding of planes is, therefore, mandatory to proceed with assessment and maintenance work.
