Maintenance Catalog

A maintenance catalog defines maintenance requirements for machines based on predefined intervals, activities, and related resources.

It is defined using YAML configuration files.

For details on the configuration structure and available parameters, see Maintenance Planner.

For a complete example, see Maintenance Catalog example.

Catalog Content

A maintenance catalog is configured based on the data you provide. Some of this information can be derived from the Proemion device manuals if required.

The following sections describe the main components of a maintenance catalog.

Intervals and Activities

Maintenance is organized in intervals based on a defined base such as operating hours.

Each interval defines a specific maintenance scope and includes a set of activities.

Typical activity types include:

  • Check
  • Replace
  • Change
  • Inspect
  • Lubricate
  • Test
  • Service

Spare Parts and Materials

Maintenance intervals can include predefined sets of required spare parts and materials, typically grouped into kits.

Maintenance entries can include links to external resources such as:

  • Spare part ordering portals
  • Parts catalogs

Signals

Maintenance tasks are triggered based on telematics data.

Examples of signals:

  1. Machine operating hours. This is the most common setup.
  2. ECU indicated maintenance can be implemented in various ways, including a decreasing hours to next service counter. A maintenance task can be created when this counter approaches 0, but without additional information different maintenance task types cannot be distinguished.
  3. Wear indications (e.g. brush diameter)
  4. DTCs - Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Machine Models

Maintenance definitions are specific to machine models.

The machine models in the DataPortal need to be aligned with the maintenance requirements for those machines.

Relationship to Maintenance Tasks

A maintenance catalog is used to generate maintenance tasks based on:

  • Defined intervals
  • Signal values
  • Maintenance logic configured in the catalog

Each task contains:

  • Descriptions
  • Activities
  • Required materials
  • References to external resources
