The increase of automation utilization is steadily reducing the time of work force employed in the production and maintenance area.Electronics data processing enhance the activities of the engineers but the optimal trend are increasing both for the evaluation of cost or the complexities of maintenance requirements. The opportunity and needs for improving maintenance performance are also growing at a rapid pace due to the improvement of automation process in almost every aspect of the industry.
The problem encounter in applying intelligent management to maintenance may be very complex but sometimes it may require very great deal of data for effective management system. The development of the maintenance history and records are essential for adequate maintenance performance and strategical problems planning.But these records are often quite voluminous and time consuming in both preparation, usage and implementation.The methods apply for material and assembling of information from this records represents an excellent area for work simplification.
AUTOMATION ADVANTAGES:
i) In operating an automated machinery less number of personnel are involved.
ii) The internal defect and configuration of plant are easily traceable through a borescopic survey or through the programming module.
iii) It provides security to plant and facility.
iv) It provides information for trouble shooting.
v) It provides unnecessary equipment repair approach.
There are many factors which may affect the department ability to control cost, among these are the age and condition of the equipment, the skill of labour force,the amount and capability of information available to make decisions, the size and value of the store inventory etc.
