Human computer interface (HCI) for intelligent maintenance systems (IMS): The role of human and context

Abstract

This paper deals with advanced computational techniques for taking account the human factors in Intelligent Manufacture Systems. A Cyber-Physical Systems (or CPS) is a system that combines and coordinates physical and computational elements. The CPS incorporates the ability to act in the physical world with the intelligence of cyber world to add new features to real-world physical systems [1]. Among the various fields of activity of the CPS, can cite security systems, robotics, education, among others. Industrial environments are characterized by being favorable places for the introduction of technologies aimed to facilitate the interaction/mediation between human and machines. In this paper, we propose to use CPS for taking account human factors in Maintenance Estrategies. The proposal, called TOOGLE-IMS, aims at developing a Human Computer Interface (HCI) for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS).
