Implementation of an IT-Solution for Autonomous Equipment Maintenance

The implementation of IT solutions for autonomous equipment maintenance represents a transformative approach in industrial maintenance management. This paper explores the paradigm shift from traditional maintenance strategies to a more operator-driven model, where machine operators themselves undertake minor maintenance tasks on the equipment. The research begins by examining the current landscape of equipment maintenance, highlighting the limitations of conventional methods and the growing need for efficiency and reduced downtime in industrial operations. It then delves into the concept of autonomous maintenance, a key component of Total Productive Maintenance, emphasizing the empowerment of operators to perform basic maintenance activities. As the research and development activities in the machine maintenance sector continue to progress, autonomous maintenance is poised to play a vital role in equipment maintenance sphere by enhancing overall operational efficiency and contributing significantly to the longevity and reliability of industrial equipment.
