Abstract

As a result of constantly growing market requirements and an increasing complexity of machining systems; rising demands emerge on machine productivity; as well as the need for flexibility and availability of production processes. Furthermore; this calls for an innovative and holistic availability management system; which ensures an availability increase by using a significant; process-accompanying and rule-based condition information system. In this information system all condition-relevant data; received from heterogeneous sources; is brought together on a homogeneous platform. Besides; a holistic solution is supported by the cooperation of manufacturers; suppliers and operators which guarantees the consideration of all possible availability losses regardless of their causes. This paper describes the technical challenge and a first holistic approach to develop such a system that ensures an optimized maintenance and production planning based on a reliable and convincing analysis of the actual condition of machines or production systems. With regard to this; chances arise to evolve different business models.
