Visualization tool for cyber-physical maintenance systems

Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS) are data acquisition/analysis systems for predictive maintenance. The IMS provide autonomously (or semi-autonomously) diagnoses, prognostics and health assessment of components. In these systems, factors such as data acquisition and visualization from equipments are very important. In this context, this study has used a Cyber-Physical Systems (or CPS) approach to consider the various aspects present into a maintenance environment. The CPS is a new paradigm that seeks to combine and coordinate physical and computational elements. In this paper, we propose a 2D/3D visualization tool for cyber-physical maintenance environments. This tool works under HTTP protocol and makes possible the real-time visualization and remotely access, allowing users to view, to edit and to access the maintenance data via web browser.
