Modular Platform of e-Maintenance with Intelligent Diagnosis: Application on Solar Platform

Abstract

The “e-maintenance” is the modern definition of the maintenance, to face the in-creasing complexity of the industrial troubleshooting by adding a stronger dimension of cooperation at information’s level. Besides, it permits to remote control the maintenance tasks which will be a gain in time and costs. In this paper, we present “e-MIED for e-Maintenance Intelligent & Diagnostics” as an e-maintenance platform presenting a clear guideline for researcher in this field; we centered the conception of our platform on a completely modular framework in order to allow easily adjusting the global environment behavior in accordance with the requirements of client resources. Moreover, the software platform will be applied on a novel hardware photovoltaic solar platform made by the research team. Fault diagnosis module using Support Vector Machine is applied to distinguish the different health states of a machine or component and it’s considered as the main part of e-MIED platform.
