At Rolls-Royce our Intelligent Borescope Method is the result of a collaboration with Waygate Technologies and Rhinestahl, and introduces hardware equipped with high-resolution, templated imaging systems that capture detailed visuals of the HPT blades during inspections. Our AI-powered algorithms subsequently analyse those images with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest amount of wear and tear quickly, consistently and accurately.
With a wealth of data, we are now building an enormous ‘maintenance brain’, containing historical inspection data, comparative analysis, and diagnostic benchmarks.
The intricate design and demanding operational conditions of HPT blades underscore the need for cutting-edge maintenance solutions. Our Intelligent Borescope Method not only simplifies the inspection of these complex components but when the most important metric of engine performance is time on wing, it can address wear patterns early, reduce re-inspections and increasing the certainty of maintenance planning and fleet management.
