Therefore, section 2 introduces maintenance organization and management in manufacturing systems. Section 3 introduces the main types of distribution architectures. Section 4 provides a classification of maintenance distribution possibilities. Section 5 positions the smart/intelligent product concept with respect to previously introduced control architectures and analyzes literature to bring answers to the previous research questions. Finally, section 6 discusses challenges and future research directions with respect to the industrial applications of smart/intelligent products in maintenance engineering. 2.

MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

Maintenance enables equipment, processes and engineering services to be available when required and ensures that the services retain their value as assets. Traditionally, maintenance activities have been carried out in a variety of ways by a variety of people. According to CIBSE (CIBSE, 2008), management of maintenance encompasses both ‘technical’ and ‘control’ aspects. The technical aspect includes determining what equipment is to be maintained, how and when; identifying problems and diagnosing causes; monitoring effects; preparing and analyzing records and technical information; initiating procedures to cope with situations before they arise; and ensuring that the chosen techniques are achieving the required results. The control aspect is aimed at minimizing the costs associated with the non-availability of an engineering service, and involves management of labor, spare parts and equipment to match the workload; locating where work is required; organizing transport; setting priorities; and coordinating action. It can extend to setting budgets, monitoring expenditure, identifying high maintenance cost plant and collecting information to form a basis for decision making. 3.

DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURES

Several classifications of distribution architectures were suggested and discussed in literature, with different levels of detail (Andreadis, Klazoglou, et al., 2014). The classification by Trentesaux (Trentesaux, 2009) is particularly interesting, mainly because of its conciseness and suitable level of abstraction. According to (Trentesaux, 2009), control architectures may be classified into centralized and noncentralized, this latter including fully hierarchical, fully heterarchical and semi heterarchical architectures (see Fig. 1). Control architecture

Centralized

Fully hierarchical

Noncentralized

Semi heterarchical Fully heterarchical

In centralized control, only one decision entity controls several resources (e.g. machines, robots, conveyors, etc.), activities (e.g. storage, processing, tool change, etc.), and/or processes (e.g. production, maintenance, quality inspection, etc.). For example, an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is usually used to control a Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC), made of a machine, an automatic tool changer, a storage buffer, a conveyor and a robot for material handling. When the number of controlled entities is arbitrarily reduced, such as in this FMC example, this type of control leads to acceptable performance. However, a single controller at a factory level (e.g. a single PLC to control many FMCs) will face difficulties due to both realtime operational requirements (e.g. size and frequency of data streams, time lags between events and information processing, etc.), production system complexity (e.g. data acquisition, processing, communication, and storage, demand uncertainty, resource availability and reliability, etc.), and scalability (e.g. system upgrade, size improvements, new production capabilities, etc.). Decentralization of control is considered as a possible way to overcome these limitations. Two fundamental design choices guide the different ways to decentralize control decisions: using hierarchical or heterarchical relationships (Trentesaux, 2009). Hierarchical decentralization dates back to the early 1970s. Fully hierarchical systems are based exclusively on vertical, master-slave relationships between decision entities at different hierarchical control levels. Decision entities at lower hierarchical levels are closer to production resources and activities and provide information to decision entities at higher hierarchical levels. Based on this information, decision entities at higher hierarchical levels make decisions and control decision entities at lower hierarchical levels. Therefore, hierarchical decentralization consists in splitting the global control problem into hierarchically dependent sub-problems, each sub-problem being assigned to a decision level with decreasing time ranges (i.e., strategic, tactical and operational, such as planning, scheduling and supervision). This choice maintains sufficient long-term optimization, while supporting less short-term optimization (e.g., agility, reactivity). Although this approach has led to well-known and established information and production planning and control system architectures, such as the Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP2) and the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), it is based on hard assumptions, such as the long-term availability and reliability of both supply and demand, the optimal behavior and high reliability of production resources, low product diversity, and the observability and controllability of all the possible internal variables (Trentesaux, 2009). In fully heterarchical control architectures, each decision entity can be seen as both a master and a slave, so that no hierarchy can be identified. Whereas hierarchy is a kind of “vertical” decentralization of control, heterarchy is a kind of “horizontal” decentralization of control. Decision entities have some degree of autonomy and work together to react quickly to disturbances instead of wasting response time lags to request control decisions from upper decision levels. Multi-agent systems is the

paradigm and technology usually used to implement fully heterarchical control (Shen et al., 2006; Leitão, 2009). In such control architectures, negotiation and cooperation appear as interaction processes in addition to coordination, which is the main (even unique) interaction mechanism in fully hierarchical architectures. However, negotiation and cooperation lead to new problems, for example, the need to prove deadlock avoidance mechanisms and more generally, the need to prove that sufficient level of performance can be attained (Trentesaux, 2009). The desire to integrate both hierarchical and heterarchical mechanisms into a distributed control system can be seen as an essential feature of semi heterarchical architectures, usually modelled and implemented through the holonic paradigm (Giret et al., 2018) in an attempt to benefit from the advantages of both approaches. 4.

DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURES FOR MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING

Although several researchers discussed the benefits of distributing maintenance activities and decision-making in manufacturing and service companies (Upasani et al., 2017), there is still a lack of classifications of maintenance distribution types and possibilities. We suggest such a classification in Fig. 2 to structure existing works on distributed maintenance. The classification shows four streams that capture the focuses of the current distributed architectures for maintenance, and that will be discussed in the following subsections.

621

and reliability of the manufacturing facilities and engineering services and assets that contribute to adding value to manufactured products. In these references, several schemes were suggested to distribute maintenance information, activities and decision-making (see sections 4.2 to 4.4) on intelligent production objects (i.e. machines, products, etc.). On another hand, for products with high added value, high complexity (e.g. automobiles, airplanes, boats, submarines, satellites, etc.), which operate in harsh environments, and/or which are called to operate without human intervention (e.g. unmanned vehicles), a body of research focuses on developing self-monitoring, self-diagnosing, self-healing or self-repairing products, i.e. embedded systems that can perform some maintenance tasks on their own (Ghosh et al., 2007; McWilliam et al., 2018). However, it is worth noticing that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is a lack of works that confer smart/intelligent products the capability to contribute to the maintenance of the system that manufactures them. 4.2. Functional distribution Standards from various organizations – such as the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Machinery Information Management Open Standards Alliance (MIMOSA), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International – were suggested to structure maintenance functions, and to enable intelligent decision-making for improved performance, safety, reliability, and maintainability (Vogl, Weiss and Donmez, 2014). They cover standards for Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics (CM&D), Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), system development, data collection and analysis techniques, data management, system training, and software interoperability. Such standards guide and structure the design and development of functionally distributed maintenance approaches. For example, the OSACBM (Open System Architecture – Condition-Based Maintenance) standard (Sreenuch, Tsourdos and Jennions, 2013), released by MIMOSA, is dedicated to the development of conditional or provisional maintenance strategies, and can be adapted to each industrial need. It contains seven flexible modules, which content (methodology and algorithms) is configurable by the user. In their paper, Cachada et al. (Cachada et al., 2018) introduce the architecture of an intelligent, functionally distributed and predictive maintenance system, aligned with Industry 4.0 principles and following the structure of functional blocks of the OSA-CBM standard. 4.3. Geographical distribution

Fig. 2. Classification of maintenance distribution.

4.1. Distribution based on the targeted system This type of distribution appears as an answer to the question “what is to be maintained?”. Usually, researchers develop distributed maintenance approaches to ensure availability

With respect to the geographical position of the maintenance center relative to the production system, Karray et al. (Karray et al., 2009) discuss three possible distribution schemes: remote-maintenance, e-maintenance and s-maintenance. The remote-maintenance system consists of at least two computer systems that exchange data: a production management system that sends data to a maintenance management system, which 628

analyzes transmitted data, and sends maintenance decisions back to the production management system. An emaintenance system is implemented on a cooperative distributed platform integrating different systems and maintenance applications of several production sites, such as in the European project PROTEUS (Bangemann et al., 2004). The s-maintenance architecture is intended to improve the performance of the e-maintenance architecture at the level of communication and data exchange between systems and allows considering data semantics and knowledge management (Matsokis et al., 2010). 4.4. Metaphor based distribution Metaphor based distribution stems from the fundamental idea that natural, biological, and social systems are able to perform complex tasks and to achieve robust and resilient performance while relying on simple and effective mechanisms. This idea provides instructive sources of inspiration for scientists to identify those architectures, concepts and mechanisms and develop adaptive systems that mimic them in order to be able to evolve and to deal with the new challenges facing manufacturing systems (Leitão, Barbosa and Trentesaux, 2012). Three paradigms are streaming search on metaphor based distribution: multiagent, holonic and bionic systems. These paradigms provide ways to identify control layers and decisional entities on which information will be distributed and decision making will be decentralized. A multi-agent system (MAS) is a computerized selforganized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Intelligence may include methodic, functional, procedural approaches, algorithmic search or machine learning. Several applications of MAS for distributed maintenance purposes are discussed in the literature. Gallab et al. (Gallab et al., 2017) provide a recent overview of existing research applying MAS to maintenance topics. The holonic concept originated from the work of Hungarian author and philosopher Arthur Koestler who tried to capture the behavior of complex systems by considering its constituent entities as being both wholes and parts at the same time (Babiceanu and Chen, 2006). Holonic control aims to merge the best properties of both hierarchical and heterarchical systems, namely, a high and predictable performance with a high robustness against disturbances and unforeseen changes. Holonic control is implemented using MAS. Therefore, advances in MAS theory and applications are beneficial to future development and enhancement of holonic systems. Giret et al. (Giret et al., 2018) provide a recent overview of holonic control applications in manufacturing systems. Biologically inspired engineering design uses analogies to biological systems to develop solutions for engineering problems. Leitão et al. (Leitão et al., 2012) provide an overview of some of the principles found in nature and biology and analyze their effectiveness to enhance multi-

agent systems to solve complex manufacturing engineering problems. However, they do not mention biological immunity as a trendy source of inspiration. Bayar et al. (Lee et al., 2011) fill in this gap and provide a review on fault detection, diagnosis and recovery using Artificial Immune Systems. Lee et al. (Lee et al., 2011) discuss research in the areas of distributed selfmaintenance for smart machines in manufacturing systems using Engineering Immune Systems (EIS). Fasanotti et al. (Fasanotti et al., 2016) describe a hybrid immune-MAS architecture, which aims to overcome the limitations of current predictive and preventive maintenance systems when they are applied to geographically widespread systems, such as in the cases of oil transfer systems via pipelines and wastewater treatment systems. 5.

PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE IN MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING

Several definitions and classifications of product intelligence were suggested and discussed in the literature, with different levels of detail (Meyer, Framling and Holmstrom, 2009; Främling et al., 2011). According to Porter and Heppelmann (Porter and Heppelmann, 2014), the capabilities of smart/intelligent products relative to maintenance engineering can be grouped into: monitoring, optimization, and autonomy. Monitoring refers to using sensors and external data sources to enable alerts and notifications of changes. Monitoring capabilities enable optimization of product operation and use in order to allow predictive diagnostics, service, and repair. Combining monitoring and optimization allows self-diagnosis and self-maintenance. Brahim-djelloul et al. (Brahim-djelloul et al., 2012) investigated the ability of products to trigger alerts following a break in the cold chain during transportation using RFID tags and temperature sensors integrated in the product packaging. The SURFER project (Mortellec et al., 2013) develops a holonic cooperative fault diagnosis approach, along with a generic architecture, to increase the embedded diagnosis capabilities of complex transportation systems. This concept is applied to the fault diagnosis of door systems of a railway transportation system. SURFER involves three types of holons: door holons, vehicle holons, and train holon. The diagnostic generated by the train holon is sent to the maintenance center, so that it can plan maintenance interventions. Lee et al. (Lee et al., 2014) suggest a Watchdog Agent embedded in a smart/intelligent product. Such an agent relies on sensors and computational prognostic algorithms to forecast future performance degradation and diagnose the reasons for degradation through trending and statistical modeling of the observed process signatures. With respect to self-maintenance systems, Takata et al. (Takata et al., 2004) identify three types of technologies: control, function redundancy, and network/group intelligence. A self-maintenance system is equipped with a control and reasoning processor, sensors, and actuators to perform these tasks. In case of failure, the smart/intelligent product can autonomously recognize the reasons for failure and try to reconfigure its state and its behavior to maintain its function (Urnes and Yeager, 1991). 629

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

This paper suggested a classification of maintenance distribution possibilities and analyzed literature with respect to distributed maintenance architectures in general, and the role of active products in maintenance engineering in particular. The suggested classification is based on four streams that allow collecting the focuses of the current distributed architectures for maintenance. From this analysis, it appears that there is a lack of references of distributed maintenance architectures based on smart/intelligent products. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no work that deals with smart/intelligent products contributing to maintain the system that manufactured them. To the question why such emergent distributed approaches are not adopted by industry, Leitão (Leitão, 2009) points out that, although the answer is not clear and unique, two groups of reasons can be identified: conceptual efficiency in the paradigms, and development-related aspects. Undoubtedly, the implementation of such approaches will be boosted by new ICT technologies, namely blockchain, advanced data analytics and augmented reality (Fernández et al., 2018). With the advent of Internet of Things, manufacturing systems and experts are witnessing a kind of transfer of responsibility from Man to intelligent objects. In traditional decision-making processes, it was the maintainer who used to reason, analyze and decide about the appropriate maintenance interventions. But with the advent of Internet of Things, smart products and smart objects in general are more and more able to self-monitor, self-diagnose, generate alerts and make decisions. The role of the maintainer is slowly moving from making maintenance decisions, to supervising, evaluating and selecting from sets of alternatives made by smart production objects. The main challenge is to design the distributed architecture that supports, enhances and enables the use of these technologies to the best of their potential and promises.
