A remote laboratory for Maintenance 4.0 training and education

The paper suggests a remote condition monitoring and maintenance laboratory environment based on theIndustry 4.0 concept. The architecture provides a remote connection with distance students and a test rig, which permitsthem to be able to perform condition monitoring, diagnostic, prognostics, etc. on the equipment. The ICT architecturefollows standards, such as the MIMOSA CRIS and the OSA-CBM. The remote laboratory environment supportslifelong learning as well as relevant training for the modern engineer and highlights the specific requirements of amaintenance engineer. As an example, the objectives and expected learning outcomes for a course in Maintenance 4.0fundamentals are displayed. The expected results are, among others, increased maintenance competences in theindustry, and the improvements of the different maintenance services following a predictive, condition-basedmaintenance strategy.
