Today the number of industries putting emphasis on maximising Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is rapidly increasing. Instead of looking only at one aspect of production, modern enterprises seek to plant a series of joint activities, aimed at minimising losses, by improving on Performance, Quality and Availability at the same time. Emphasising these three factors simultaneously leads to the introduction...
This chapter introduces the use of ‘smart tags’ or radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the dynamic maintenance framework. Although the technology has already been well developed and also implemented in a range of commercial systems, the benefit of implementing the technology into the e-maintenance framework has been seen as key to finding new and innovative solutions. The RFID technology...
E-maintenance and the use of mobile devices offer the flexibility to initiate maintenance-related applications at flexible locations while networked in unstructured environments. They are becoming a key enabling factor in achieving ubiquitous data and services availability, by retrieving information from heterogeneous data sources. Personal digital assistant (PDA) devices play a key role in bringing...
This chapter describes the state of the art in information and communication technologies (ICT) related to maintenance and its future trends. Several topics apply, from pure technological advances in acquisition, communication and storage of information, to the identification of advanced information standards for systems interoperability, such as MIMOSA and open system architecture for condition based...
E-maintenance is the synthesis of two major trends in today’s society: the growing importance of maintenance as a key technology and the rapid development of information and communication technology. E-maintenance gives the reader an overview of the possibilities offered by new and advanced information and communication technology to achieve efficient maintenance solutions in industry, energy production...
