    Abstract

    Industrial maintenance is a complex and knowledgeintensive field. Therefore, maintenance technicians need to have easy access to versatile and situationally relevant knowledge. The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding of maintenance technicians' interactions and knowledge sharing with colleagues and technology during maintenance work. Three industrial maintenance cases were studied using interviews and observation. As a result, a model for knowledge sharing in maintenance work was developed. Based on the model, it is easier to tackle challenges in knowledge gathering and sharing. In addition, it supports the research and development of technologies that contribute to knowledge sharing in the future.
