The future of maintenance is full of new technological tools as the Augmented Reality. This will support, improve and evolve how we do maintenance. That’s not a daydream or a hope, it is already applied. So it is a matter of time to be available for you.
We tried to bring the AI or Artificial Intelligence closer to our minds. If you can understand the intensions and thinking methodology of any human, you will be better in dealing with him/her. This applies also for AI. If you managed to understand the intentions of the AI -Artificial Intelligence and how its rational model works. You will accept it, use it for your own good and, even improve it to be a real ally or a perfect helping hand.
It is important to understand what is AI -Artificial Intelligence- in details because it is currently part of our work and life even if we don’t realize this.
Whether Industry 4.0 or Industry 5.0 is the current industry trend both of them relies on the Intelligence of the machines. An Intelligent machine can sense its environment, take a decision and apply an action or give a recommendation. How this can transform maintenance?
Historically maintenance evolves as industry evolves. With every Industrial Revolution, Maintenance tools and strategies grow to provide the needed service for this industrial era. Now what shall we do with the Augmented reality and other technologies Industry 4.0 introduce in the production environment??!
These are propping questions that will sprout many possibilities and hidden gems or problems that we would never known about if we didn’t have a hope followed by an intention to make this target come true in the nearby future
Finally we explain how and why we need to reach an Agile Maintenance Process and an Agile Maintenance Team which has an Agile Mentality through the 8 steps needed to reach there.
Self-Reform leads to improved effectiveness in our maintenance tasks including improved communication, responsiveness & flexibility and better response to sudden requests while maintaining excellence in every part of the maintenance task. This leads to an Agile Maintenance Process and Team.
A maintenance process that encompasses technical excellence in all of its elements and is reliable will be responsive, flexible and adding a value to its customers and stakeholders. That’s an Agile process.
Simplicity of any process leads to agility of this same process. Eliminating or rejecting tasks that are not adding value to the maintenance process would free the precious time and effort of the maintenance team. Hence increasing its simplicity score. How?
