N2  - In today’s environment, organizations face mounting challenges to reconcile eco-nomic efficiency with ecological responsibility and social sustainability. Upgrade Engineering offers a promising alternative to traditional maintenance strategies by combining technical upgrades with broader organizational and strategic sustaina-bility goals. Through a qualitative and exploratory research design that includes in-depth expert interviews across various industrial sectors and a systematic liter-ature review, a lifecycle-based information model was developed. This model de-scribes the information and data needs from the planning stage through construc-tion, usage, and improvement phases. The findings reveal that adopting an inte-grated data infrastructure that captures both quantitative sensor readings and qual-itative expert feedback is essential for effective decision-making and continuous improvement. The study concludes with practical recommendations and empha-sizes the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration. Future research should fur-ther investigate interrelationships between the information collected in the plant life cycle phases and the technical, economic, and social dimensions of Upgrade Engineering in order to be able to steer upgrade decisions even more effectively.
