The success of technologies depends not only on their innovative strength and acceptance, but also on their management. Decision-makers evaluate factors like technical framework conditions and organizational requirements, with the demand for flexibility adding to the complexity. Industry 4.0 addresses this with networking, transparency and decentralized decisions. Digital twins, which can be implemented with open source software, play a key role.

Maintenance 4.0

Maintenance 4.0

A concept for the representation of maintenance processes and the role of humans in the Industry 4.0
Michael Kelker, Roland Heidel, Lennart Brumby
This article presents a concept for the visualization of maintenance processes in Industry 4.0 using the reference architecture model Industry 4.0, in short RAMI 4.0. The mirroring of maintenance processes is done by transferring relevant maintenance terms from various standards into maintenance assets and the corresponding management shells. Here, the role of the human being has to be considered and the dynamic behaviour of maintenance processes has to be mapped. In this respect, this concept presents different methods of visualizing these issues.
