MANAGING MACHINE TOOL AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

摘要

A method for managing production facility preventative maintenance is described. The method is performed using a computer system coupled to a database. The method includes receiving operation data from at least one machine controller and at least one auxiliary equipment controller, wherein the operation data corresponds to operation of at least one of machine tool and at least one auxiliary system that supports the production facility operation. The method also includes converting the operation data into usage data and determining a required preventative maintenance by comparing the usage data to stored preventative maintenance data. The method also includes outp?tting at least one of a percentage of life remaining and a notification of required preventative maintenance.
