Predictive Maintenance

The article explores the benefits and importance of predictive maintenance in Industry 4.0. It is a revolutionary ap- proach that analyzes data from cyber-physical systems to predict possible equipment failures before they occur and technology applied to detect early signs of a vibration problem on equipment. Thus, downtime is minimized and production continuity is ensured.

The paper presents a brief description of engineering and scientific problems which arise at the steel plant PJSC “ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih” when organizing a repair workshop to fix industrial equipment.
The attention is paid to innovative methods of repair process based on intelligent agents and Industry 4.0 principles.
