Singapore Aero Engine Services has been distinguished in the Aviation category at the SBR National Business Awards 2024 for its innovative Smart Inspection System. This system represents a leap forward in aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul for Rolls-Royce Trent engines, aligning with the MRO 4.0 Technology Roadmap initiated in 2022.
Moreover, the system boasts a 3D data processing measurement algorithm, which precisely measures defects' depth, width, length, and diameter, ensuring comprehensive defect analysis. This technological advancement enables SAESL to generate detailed reports that are instrumental in determining the airworthiness of engine parts, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of aviation operations.
Looking forward, SAESL holds the intellectual property rights to the Smart Inspection System, providing a solid foundation for further development in collaboration with industrial partners. Whilst currently applied to Disc and Case components, plans are underway to extend the system's application to other critical engine components, promising significant reductions in engine turnaround times.
