Information system for manufacturing equipment diagnostics

Abstract

The information system for assisting the manufacturing equipment diagnostics and repair based on the pictorial nested structure equipment model has been designed and experimentally tested. It is an open system with gradual structure refining and expanding possibility. Pictorial model can be supplemented with relevant data in form of documents, situation pictures, remarks and other data objects according to the experience gained from equipment operation and problem diagnostics procedures. That information system can be shared among authorized and registered users related somehow to the equipment concerned because it is designed as an application based on internet technologies and client/server structure.
