Abstract

Development of Web-based 3D technologies has revealed a large number of promising opportunities within the life cycle of the product. In the intervening time, the 3D modelling tools developed to fully realise the product life cycle management has challenged many organizations to move beyond design and manufacturing into the entire phases of product life cycle. Maintenance is a part of the product life cycle which plays an integral role in manufacturing process. Thus, it requires an in-depth attention to be optimised. To ensure that maintenance activity is undertaken in a proper, cost-effective and efficient manner, a streamlined product support information source laid down in the maintenance manual should be provided. Since we are living in a face-paced and virtually instant way of life in which everything needs to have a rapid and on-demand information retrieval platform, and manufacturing industry is no exception. Therefore, maintenance personnel should have an optimised mechanism to carry out maintenance task. This mechanism is a maintenance manual enhanced by means of Web-based 3D technologies on the basis of actual 3D CAD assembly data of a production equipment with automated system, which is attained from a particular manufacturing company. A number of advantages can be taken of it as it is generated in an informative, interactive, virtual, collaborative and on-demand (at any time and any place) form. So, when undertaking a maintenance task, the users involved can virtually obtain on-demand information and communicate complex maintenance procedural problems with other users through a simplified, intuitive and interactive interface at any time and any place. in addition, the users in different locations can speed up their understanding in learning and solving maintenance cases. It will significantly reduce travel expenses to attend a maintenance training in case it is held in distant place.
