The Through-life Engineering Services (TES) Centre at Cranfield University is delighted to announce the 11th International Conference on Through-life Engineering Services (TESConf2022), to be held during 8-9 November 2022 at Cranfield University, UK.

TESConf2022 brings together academia and industry to engineering solutions supporting the lifecycle of complex and long-life assets. This CIRP-sponsored conference blends research and industrial solutions related for approaches that enable and optimise the value and the cost in-use. The topics explore design, functionality, performance, reliability and prognosis of life of engineering assets. The research streams cuts across the lifecycle with an emphasis on understanding the design and management to extend life. This year, the conference focuses on the following areas and topics:

Digitalisation in TES

  • Digital transformation
  • Digital twins
  • AR/VR

Industrial product service systems (IPSS)

  • Business models
  • Design for service
  • Design for prognosis

Lifecycle management

  • Maintenance and optimisation
  • Repair technologies
  • Health monitoring

TES for sustainability

  • Life-extension approaches
  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Application-tuned materials

Call for industrial exhibitions

Organisations are invited to book a stand to exhibit their products and services related to TES. The conference will showcase their exhibits in front of their potential customers and network with world-class academics for future collaboration.  

Paper submission

The Organising Committee invites authors to submit extended abstracts or manuscripts with significant scientific results with a maximum of six pages. All contributions will be peer-reviewed to evaluate their merit prior to being accepted and published in an open access repository with their corresponding DOI. 

Based on the reviewer's report and the presentation at the conference, the panel will make recommendations to the committee, and the top manuscript will be invited to submit an extended paper for a special issue the CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology for publication.
