SERENA: Versatile Plug-and-Play Platform Enabling Remote Predictive Maintenance

Abstract

Modern technology in the context of Industry 4.0, including sensors and embedded systems, data analytics and advanced networking, are key enabling technologies towards minimizing downtime of the production system. Empowered by the aforementioned, this study discusses a conceptual framework of a predictive maintenance approach based on equipment condition-based modeling and evaluation, as a step towards reducing breakdowns as well as the overall maintenance costs, through a more efficient time scheduling of the maintenance operations.
