Comment: Unpredicted breakdowns of a plant are often very costly as production stops. The fault has to be identified and spare parts have to be ordered and installed before the production can continue. Condition monitoring can be used to detect wear and therefore schedule maintenance before a complete failure. In case of breakdown a root cause analysis can aid the experts in finding the error cause. Both of these approaches can decrease downtimes significantly and decrease costs.

Comment:
The operator has a broad decision basis as well as a suggestion of a DSS (Decision Support System), which will improve the manufacturing system. Operator interaction will be done by a new developed HMI (Human Machine Interface) providing the huge amount of data in a reliable manner.
