A Maintenance Demand Analyzer - a Web Service based on a Semantic Plant Model
Mika Viinikkala, S. Syrjala, Seppo Kuikka · 2006
Modern production plants need novel information and knowledge management approaches and services to support operation and maintenance decision making. With existing solutions, information is at best exposed in a structurally interoperable form but with lacking semantics. Application of semantic web ontologies could provide better means to exploit information in existing information systems. A semantic plant model is a semantically rich representation about a plant that can be accessed by value added services. A particular service, maintenance demand analyzer, gathers individual analyses that are based on various criteria and originated from several systems to produce a maintenance recommendation for devices in specific processes.
