We have actively participated in the European ECSEL project "MANTIS". The main concept here is to provide a proactive maintenance service platform architecture for Cyber Physical Systems that allows estimating future performance, predicting and preventing imminent failures and scheduling steps for proactive maintenance. These systems form part of a larger network of heterogeneous and collaborative systems connected via robust communication mechanisms that are able to operate in challenging environments. Sophisticated distributed sensing and decision making functions are performed at different levels in a collaborative way, ranging from local nodes to locally optimise performance, bandwidth and maintenance; to cloud-based platforms that integrate information from diverse systems and execute distributed processing and analytics algorithms for global decision making. This concept enables ERP, CRM and CMMS integration with ease.
