Analysis of data and pattern recognition for the implementation of an E-maintenance system

This monograph has the aim of presenting the necessary knowledge for the treatment and processing of data and its subsequent analysis for the recognition of patterns to be able to implement maintenance systems in companies beyond traditional maintenance systems, i.e. to implement E-maintenance systems. The context in which this platform is developed is the national project “Smart Manufacturing 2020” inside of which Politecnico di Milano has a role as academic partner and scientific coordinator, and thanks to which it has been possible to cooperate with the industrial partners Whirlpool Italia and Agomir S.p.A. In the introduction it is presented the previous knowledge necessary for the complete understanding of this monographic work. Analyzing the importance of the correct implementation of intelligent maintenance systems, and also tools and methods are presented. The work is developed using the mathematical software tool called MATLAB® through which the parameters and information necessary for the implementation of an E-maintenance system are analyzed. In the present competitive world, work well done and a correct analysis of the available information can be an important differentiating factor for any company and organization.
