IER MRO Advance Technical Aerospace Knowledge Centre
As part of IER MRO Industries state-of-the-art facility it will now include a dedicated advanced technical aerospace knowledge centre specifically for inspection technologies and repair processes to enhance customer support capabilities in the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) process.
The will be a unique hub for rapidly industrializing and deploying cutting-edge technologies and methodologies for inspecting aero and industrial engine parts to develop and improve inspection turnaround times.
The centre will house state-of-the-art inspection technologies powered by AI and machine learning robotics that will detect emerging issues sooner and help support customers’ engine deliveries sooner.
IER MRO Facilities, which will be opened in 2026/2027, is in the process of finalizing certification of several Aero Engine Types such as CFM56, IAE V2500 series and associated technologies, which will be deployed across the company’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facilities.
“The Centre will provide an unprecedented capability to rapidly industrialize and scale the most advanced inspection and repair solutions using AI, automation, and robotics within its MRO organizations.’’ With each new deployment, we will give all local and international Airline organizations better services and tools to meet the demand and reduce turnaround times for engine overhauls.
This will then improve the quality and detail of part inspections. These new inspection processes will improve and reduce the cost of overhauls on aero engines for airline customers by more clearly defining airworthy repaired parts that can be returned to the business instead of replacing them entirely with new expensive parts, providing sustainability within the industry and freeing supply chain resources.
They will have over 100 special repair processes in place, and several manufacturing engineers will focus on substantiating next-generation repair technologies in collaboration with several universities and approved OEM specialist partners.
Additional technologies that will include but are not limited to the site will be ultrasound, computed tomography, flash thermography, eddy current testing, fluorescent penetrant inspection, and dimensional metrology.
