A predictive maintenance approach based in big data analysis

With the evolution of information systems, the data flow escalated into new boundaries, allowing enterprises to further develop their approach to important sectors, such as production, logistic, IT and especially maintenance. This last field accompanied industry developments hand in hand in each of the four iterations. More specifically, the fourth iteration (Industry 4.0) marked the capability to connect machines and further enhance data extraction, which allowed companies to use a new data-driven approach into their specific problems. Nevertheless, with a wider flow of data being generated, understanding data became a priority for maintenance-related decision-making processes. Therefore, the correct elaboration of a roadmap to apply predictive maintenance (PM) is a key step for companies. A roadmap can allow a safe approach, where resources may be placed strategically with a ratio of low risk and high reward. By analysing multiple approaches to PM, a generic model is proposed, which contains an array of guidelines. This combination aims to assist maintenance departments that wish to understand the feasibility of implementing a predictive maintenance solution in their company. To understand the utility of the developed artefact, a practical application was conducted to a production line of HFA, a Portuguese Small and Medium Enterprise.Através da evolução dos sistemas de informação (SI), o fluxo de dados atingiu novos limites, permitindo assim às empresas desenvolver diferentes focos e aplicar novas perspetivas nos departamentos fulcrais à sua atividade, tais como produção, logística e, mais especificamente, a manutenção. Esta última componente evolui paralelamente à indústria, evidenciando novos desenvolvimentos em cada iteração da mesma. Particularmente, a quarta revolução industrial destacou-se pela capacidade de conectar máquinas entre si e pela evolução posterior do processo de extração de dados. Assim, surgiu uma nova perspetiva focada na utilização dos dados extraídos para resolução de problemas. Consequentemente, esta inovação fomentou uma redefinição das prioridades nas decisões tomadas relativas à manutenção, dando primazia à compreensão dos dados gerados. Por conseguinte, a correta elaboração de um plano de implementação de manutenção preditiva (MP) destaca-se como um passo fulcral para as empresas. Este plano tem como objetivo permitir uma abordagem mais segura, possibilitando assim alocar os recursos estrategicamente, reduzindo o risco e potenciando a recompensa. Mediante a análise de múltiplas abordagens de MP, é proposto um modelo genérico que reúne um conjunto diretrizes. Este tem intuito de auxiliar os departamentos de manutenção que pretendem compreender a viabilidade da instalação de uma solução de MP na empresa. A fim de perceber a utilidade dos artefactos desenvolvidos, foi realizada uma aplicação prática do modelo numa pequena e média empresa (PME)

Human Computer Interaction and Emerging Technologies

The INTERACT Conferences are an important platform for researchers and practitioners in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) to showcase their work. They are organised biennially by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee on Human–Computer Interaction (IFIP TC13), an international committee of 30 member national societies and nine Working Groups. INTERACT is truly international in its spirit and has attracted researchers from several countries and cultures. With an emphasis on inclusiveness, it works to lower the barriers that prevent people in developing countries from participating in conferences. As a multidisciplinary field, HCI requires interaction and discussion among diverse people with different interests and backgrounds. The 17th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2019) took place during 2-6 September 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus. The conference was held at the Coral Beach Hotel Resort, and was co-sponsored by the Cyprus University of Technology and Tallinn University, in cooperation with ACM and ACM SIGCHI. This volume contains the Adjunct Proceedings to the 17th INTERACT Conference, comprising a series of selected papers from workshops, the Student Design Consortium and the Doctoral Consortium. The volume follows the INTERACT conference tradition of submitting adjunct papers after the main publication deadline, to be published by a University Press with a connection to the conference itself. In this case, both the Adjunct Proceedings Chair of the conference, Dr Usashi Chatterjee, and the lead Editor of this volume, Dr Fernando Loizides, work at Cardiff University which is the home of Cardiff University Press
