In this paper we introduce a systemic approach for predictive and prescriptive maintenance framed within the larger system of systems, as exemplified by a use case in mining. Developments are presented as systematic, while there is a focus on improved availability modeling using the time usage model with a corresponding UML/SysML StateMachine representation. Data becomes connected with a more elaborated definition of time, with failure modes and analytics in reliability engineering being supported by improved underlying information structures.
