Incremental IoT for industrial maintenance using the legacy culture

Abstract

Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers a portfolio of solutions for predictive maintenance and promises problem-solving. However, there is no systematic strategy for legacy systems capable of taking advantage of the knowledge of the company's culture and simultaneously enabling the incremental deployment of IoT. This article proposes an expansion of the Ignite Systems Development Methodology introduced by Bosch. The proposed methodology is focused on the Maintenance task and incorporates concepts rooted in the industry, such as OEE, FMEA, and CBM. We tested the Methodology through a case study, and the result was a significant reduction in downtime.
