With the rising adoption of building information modelling (BIM) for asset management within architecture, engineering and construction sectors, BIM-enabled during operation maintenance phase has been increasingly attracting more attention in both research practice. This paper provides a comprehensive review analysis development state-of-the-art industry standards that impact on BIM phase. Howe...

Many research efforts have led to robust database initial design methodologies. However, database evolutions suffer from lack of structured approaches. Using high-level conceptualization models like ontologies, we describe an original approach to database evolution management. Our aim is to help the maintenance engineer in 1) characterizing the evolution, 2) finding the best techniques and tool...

Switchgear (GIS) to the 220/33kV step down transformers, the 33kV and 6.6 kV switchgear all the way to the plant wide 400VAC distribution a fully integrated power distribution system nears completion. ABB’s local manufacturing capability, engineering resources and experience were fully utilised to make it all possible. EMAL’s world first smelter fully integrated power distribution system will s...

The value of a corporate information system such as an experience base tends to degrade with time. To keep the value of such a system, maintenance is an essential. Maintenance should not simply happen ad-hoc but systematically and based on specific maintenance knowledge. As a jump-start for maintenance, maintenance knowledge should be available right from the start of continuous operation. This...

This paper introduces a novel application of information extraction techniques to extract data from helicopter maintenance records to populate a database. The goals of the research are to preprocess the text-based data for further use in data mining efforts and to develop a system to provide a rough analysis of generic maintenance records to facilitate in the development of training corpora for...

The aim of present research work is to develop an information system development process and a model for the development of new generation information systems. New age information systems are those Information systems that are capable of fulfilling the demand of highly dynamic information requirements derived from the competitive environments of the business organizations and support controllin...

The purpose of this study is to present a new construct perceived maintenance load (PML) – which captures the users’ perceptions of maintenance load associated with using a High Maintenance Information Systems (HMIS). HMIS is a class of information systems that requires an ongoing maintenance effort to maintain the system in order to continuously derive its benefits. To develop the PML construc...
