Fleet-Wide Proactive Maintenance of Machine Tools

Fleet-wide proactive maintenance characterizes all services that are made available to the users to help them to operate, supervise and maintain a fleet of systems. These services can be, for a general manager of a fleet, a dashboard of all the systems’ business indicators or, for a technical manager, a dashboard of all the systems’ maintenance and health status. At the bottom level of the pyramidal hierarchy, a technical operator should have a fast overview of the systems’ status and should be alerted at the right time when a system needs to be checked. Nowadays, more and more data and information are available on machine tools which should be treated and analysed to extract the right information for the right people at the right time. To achieve this goal, a fleet-wide proactive maintenance platform requires several main business services to have an understandable view of the system by all users and, thus, save time for decision-making during diagnosis and prognosis analysis.
