The Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy has got new, powerful toolset recently: the concepts of Internet of Things (IoT) and CyberPhysical Systems (CPS). These can provide flexible but powerful data collection and analysis methods for Proactive and Predictive Maintenance. In the landscape of new digitalization and interconnection of products, services, processes, enterprises and people, IoT/CPS-based pla...
Nowadays, collecting complex information regarding a machine status is the enabler for advanced maintenance activities, and one of the main players in this process is the sensor. This paper describes modern maintenance strategies that lead to Proactive Maintenance (PM), which is the most advanced one. The paper discusses the sensors that can be used to support maintenance, as pertaining to different categories,...
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are creating new market opportunities and business models for all kind of European Industries. CPS-based platforms are increasing in their size and target application areas in a steady manner. However, even if progress is made every day supported by continuous technological advancements, CPS application and deployment is still challenging. Many solutions have been made available or ...
The rapid development of new low-cost sensors of reasonable processing power have led to the introduction of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to support maintenance, which in turn together with a scalable, two level data processing architecture has taken maintenance as such to a new level i.e. Maintenance 4.0. The potential of CPS to support maintenance is explained, and it is related to the requirements set upon t...
The way maintenance is carried out is altering rapidly. The introduction of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and cloud technologies are providing new technological possibilities that change dramatically the way it is possible to follow production machinery and the necessity to carry out maintenance. In the near future, the number of machines that can be followed from remoteness will explode. At the same time, it wi...
The reliability and safety of industrial machines depends on their timely maintenance. The integration of Cyber Physical Systems within the maintenance process enables both continuous machine monitoring and the application of advanced techniques for predictive and proactive machine maintenance. The building blocks for this revolution – embedded sensors, efficient preprocessing capabilities, ubiquitous connectio...
