Preventive maintenance scheduling for equipment

Purpose

 1.1. Automate preventive maintenance scheduling for aircraft manufacturing equipment, ensuring timely upkeep, minimizing downtime, complying with regulatory standards, optimizing operational efficiency, and tracking maintenance activities from creation through completion.
 1.2. Synchronize maintenance workflow, notify responsible teams, update asset records, capture compliance documentation, and facilitate predictive interventions based on real-time data.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Scheduled time intervals (e.g., every 100 operating hours).
 2.2. IoT sensor readings (e.g., vibration exceeds threshold).
 2.3. Manual input (e.g., technician initiates request).
 2.4. Integration with ERP (e.g., SAP work order status changes).
 2.5. Regulatory compliance deadlines.
 2.6. Failure or anomaly detection via ML model output.
 2.7. Equipment utilization logs reaching predefined limits.
