Model of Predictive Maintenance of Machines and Equipment
Abstract
This paper presents selected possibilities for mathematical models in predictive maintenance of equipment. This model includes automatic classification of machines by labor intensity, determination of labor intensity standards, and drawing up monthly and yearly maintenance plans for manufacturing lines and technical equipment in an engineering company. This model reduces human error, clarifies accounting and operational records of machines, evaluates the actual maintenance labor intensity, eliminates routine administrative work, enables the use of cloud storages, and includes automatic reporting of problems in the case of on-board diagnostic systems. It is based on differentiated machine care, can be an effective tool for the overall optimization of maintenance processes, and is a part of the digitization of these processes in engineering companies.
