The purpose of this paper is to describe a flexible architecture concept to provide a ubiquitous computing framework where condition‐based maintenance (CBM) data and information can be easily accessed, and maintenance decisions may be performed wherever required.

The architecture is based on a platform of intelligent web services, and logically structured decision layers based on the open systems architecture for CBM definition, from condition monitoring to decision support, and provides automated extraction of results. The application of web services is demonstrated, first related with an original vision on the adoption of mobile devices for dynamic maintenance management solutions, and then with a more conventional web‐based predictive maintenance management system.

Scenarios for the upgrade of existing preventive maintenance practices …
