Aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) have entered a new era of precision, efficiency and reliability with the launch of the PartWorks RepĀR™ augmented reality solution. Designed for both military and commercial aviation, RepĀR's augmented reality overlay transforms structural repairs by ensuring accuracy, reducing labour costs, minimising human error and accelerating return-to-service timelines.
RepĀR rapidly captures structural repair data, embedding spatial awareness and real-time validation into maintenance workflows. Novice technicians achieve results beyond their operational experience, while seasoned technicians experience measurable productivity gains.
“ RepĀR™ exemplifies how targeted computer vision applications can deliver immediate value in aerospace manufacturing and maintenance,” said Shelley Peterson, CEO of Wizard Wells. “By precisely identifying fastener locations and validating tool placement, it reduces rework, minimises human error, and ensures tasks are performed right the first time.”
“This collaboration between PartWorks and Georgia Tech researchers began in 2022 with the objective of applying XR to positively impact real-world MRO challenges,” noted Maribeth Gandy Coleman, PhD, Director of Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “We have now translated fundamental innovations in XR, computer vision, and machine learning into an intuitive user experience that helps aircraft technicians perform their maintenance tasks efficiently, safely, and with increased accuracy.”
PartWorks will demonstrate RepĀR™ at Aviation Week Network's MRO Americas 2025, taking place April 8-10, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center.
