"It is vital to the maintenance of manufacturing businesses".
In 2014, it accounted for more than 2.5m jobs, largely in operations, maintenance and manufacturing – now increasingly dominated by a jobs boom in Asia.
The case study presents the implementation of the concept in the development, operations and maintenance of manufacturing cells for die-casting of aluminum and magnesium components for automotive industry.
We take into consideration: historical normal and faulty operational data; current and future scenarios (operating and environmental conditions, maintenance actions); manufacturing data, e.g., failure modes effect and criticality analysis and material conditions and variations.
"By using advanced analytics in predictive maintenance programmes, manufacturing companies can avoid machine failures on the factory floor and cut downtime by an estimated 50% and increase production by 20%.
Davies (2015, p.5) speculates: "By using advanced analytics in predictive maintenance programmes, manufacturing companies can avoid machine failures on the factory floor and cut downtime by an estimated 50% and increase production by 20%.
The other challenge is creating a singular, cohesive story around it all that involves each of these parts of HPE that explains the business value from IOT that doesn't just reiterate the, frankly, tiresome examples of predictive maintenance in manufacturing or regurgitating analyst numbers about connected devices.
This e-maintenance enables manufacturing operations to achieve near-zero-downtime performance on a sharable, quick and convenient platform through integrating the existent advanced technologies with distributed sources.
The work provides more insights into maintenance workforce planning during overhaul rework and overtime maintenance activities in manufacturing systems and demonstrated capacity in generating substantially helpful information for practice.
Prior studies show that strategic planning of the maintenance activities in manufacturing industries holds great potential to increase productivity.
