Implementation of Total Productive Maintenance on Frame Welding Machine Maintenance Using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Method at PT Electronics Components Indonesia
PT. Electronics Components Indonesia manufactures capacitors and focuses on enhancing productivity and operational efficiency of the frame welding machines through effective maintenance. This study employs a quantitative method to analyze the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) values, including availability, performance efficiency, and rate of quality, as well as conducting a Six Big Losses analysis. The results indicate that the average availability reached 97.83%, with a significant decrease in August due to downtime. Performance efficiency remained consistently above 90%, although higher product output tended to reduce efficiency. The rate of quality was stable and high, reflecting improvements in production processes and quality control. The average OEE value reached 88%, exceeding the global standard of 85%. To further enhance the effectiveness of the frame welding machines...
The use of Digital Twin for predictive maintenance in manufacturing
This paper presents a methodology to calculate the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of machinery equipment by utilising physics-based simulation models and Digital Twin concept, in order to enable predictive maintenance for manufacturing resources using Prognostics and health management (PHM) techniques. The resources and the properties of them are first modelled in a digital environment able to simulate the real machine’s behaviour. Data are gathered by machines’ controllers and external sensors to be used for the synchronous tuning of the digital models and their simulation. The outcome of the simulation is then used to assess the resource’s condition and to calculate RUL. In this way, the condition and the status of the machines can be monitored and predicted as a result from the simulation of physics-based models, without invasive techniques of common predictive maintenance solutions.

Artificial Intelligence for Predictive Maintenance Applications: Key Components, Trustworthiness, and Future Trends
Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a policy applying data and analytics to predict when one of the components in a real system has been destroyed, and some anomalies appear so that maintenance can be performed before a breakdown takes place. Using cutting-edge technologies like data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the performance and accuracy of predictive maintenance systems and increases their autonomy and adaptability in complex and dynamic working environments. This paper reviews the recent developments in AI-based PdM, focusing on key components, trustworthiness, and future trends. The state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques, challenges, and opportunities associated with AI-based PdM are first analyzed. The integration of AI technologies into PdM in real-world applications, the human-robot interaction, the ethical issues emerging from using AI, and the testing and...

Overall Environmental Equipment Effectiveness as a Metric of a Lean and Green Manufacturing System
This paper presents a new metric for describing the sustainability improvements achieved, relative to the company’s initial situation, after implementing a lean and green manufacturing system. The final value of this metric is identified as the Overall Environmental Equipment Effectiveness (OEEE), which is used to analyze the evolution between two identified states of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and the sustainability together, and references, globally and individually, the production steps. The OEE is a known measure of equipment utilization, which includes the availability, quality and performance of each production step, In addition to these factors, the OEEE incorporates the concept of sustainability based on the calculated environmental impact of the complete product life cycle. Action research based on the different manufacturing processes of a tube fabrication...
