vedlikeholdsdata

Vedlikeholdsdata refers to the information collected, stored, and analyzed to support maintenance activities for physical assets and infrastructure. It covers asset details, maintenance history, condition monitoring results, inspections, work orders, parts and labor, costs, downtime, and performance metrics. The data supports planning, execution, and evaluation across the asset lifecycle, from preventive care to corrective repairs.

Core elements include asset attributes (type, location, manufacturer), maintenance plans and schedules, completed work orders, inspection findings, sensor readings and diagnostics, failure modes, root-cause analyses, and reliability indicators such as MTBF and MTTR.

Sources and systems: computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) or enterprise asset management (EAM) systems; ERP; SCADA and IoT platforms; inspection reports; procurement and inventory systems; third-party maintenance records.

Applications: maintenance planning and scheduling, budgeting, spare parts optimization, reliability-centered maintenance, predictive maintenance, risk-based maintenance, and regulatory compliance reporting.

Data quality and governance: accuracy, completeness, timeliness, consistency, and traceability; validation and cleansing processes; data lineage and access control; privacy and security; and lifecycle management including retention and archiving.

Standards and interoperability: asset-management standards such as ISO 55000 family, and reliability data guidelines like ISO 14224, which support data sharing and benchmarking across systems and organisations.

Challenges and considerations: data fragmentation across multiple systems, heterogeneity of formats, interoperability gaps, data ownership, and change-management aspects during digitalisation. Proper governance and clear data definitions are essential to maximize value.
