Abstract
The paper gives a short overview of the enabling tools
and technologies available to the maintenance engineer in
manufacturing industry. Specific focus is given to the
emergence of e-maintenance practices and the introduction
of mobile computing devices. Analysis of the main
characteristics of the e-maintenance concepts and the
associated challenges is provided, highlighting the lack
of use of condition-based maintenance strategies. The
potential of using ubiquitous computing power in
industrial maintenance practice is then examined,
followed by an original vision for the adoption of mobile
maintenance management solutions. This vision is
supported today by the European Integrated Project -
DYNAMITE (Dynamic Decisions in Maintenance). This project
is concerned with the development of an e-maintenance
system that is partially based on web and mobile
technologies to manage industrial machinery and assets.
Such maintenance activity is a huge cost to European
industry. Realistic industrial maintenance scenarios
provide the primary focus for the technology being
developed in the DYNAMITE Project.
