AI on Asset Maintenance Data - Challenges to Value Delivery
Melinda Hodkiewicz presents this talk at ICMIAM2021. This talk is about the limitations and risks associated with AI for maintenance and also a road map to where we could and should be focussing as well as what organisational processes need to be in place to support value capture.
Automating Technical Text Classification - Failure Mode Classification for Reliability Engineers
Dr Stewart presents this talk given to industry at the UWA Data Institute's data.conversation event in August 2024.
Digitalisation of Maintenance Work Management Procedures - a Work Design Perspective
Caitlin Woods presents this talk in OzCHI'21 Late Breaking Works track. Lessons learned in an industry study on the introduction of digital procedures on a tablet to maintenance technicians working in heavy industry maintenance.
Digitalization and Reasoning Overengineering Textual Data Stored in FMEA Spreadsheet Tables
AMEST2020, Cambridge UK, Maintenance in the Digital Era.
Exploring Human-Computer Interaction in Ontologies: A Case Study
Briana's thesis discussion on exploring human-computer interaction.
Generating Authentic Grounded Synthetic Maintenance Work Orders
Allison Lau presents research in generating authentic grounded synthetic maintenance work orders.
MaintNorm: Corpus and Benchmark Model for Lexical Normalisation of Maintenance Work Order Texts
Tyler Bikaun describes how to transform Maintenance Work Order texts into accessible and analysable data in the 9th W-NUT workshop, EACL 2024.
Maintenance in an Industry 4 0 and COVID19 World
ESREL2020 PSAM 15 The 30th European Safety and Reliability Conference. This talk describes how remote operations platforms pioneered by the iron ore mining companies in Western Australia are supporting a significant refactoring in maintenance practices and the ability to implement a range of technologies associated with Industry 4.0 developments. And how the WA miners' ability to work remotely has enabled them to thrive during the COVID crisis further accelerating adoption of new technology and processes in maintenance.
Rethinking definitions for Work Management Metrics
Melinda Hodkiewicz and Sarah Lukens present a 7 minute video made for the SMRP best practices committee (Society for Maintenance Professionals) and others in the maintenance community.
Semantic and Engineering Knowledge based Embedding for Maintenance Work Order Clustering
Jadeyn Feng presents research in semantic and engineering knowledge based embedding for maintenance work order clustering.
Semantic Quality Assurance of Industrial Maintenance Procedures
Dr. Caitlin Woods from the University of Western Australia presents Semantic Quality Assurance of Industrial Maintenance Procedures to the ISO TC 184 SC4 WG26 (Ontology-based interoperability standard) meeting in Stavanger 2024.
Semi-automated Estimation of Reliability Measures from Maintenance Work Order Records
Tyler Bikaun presents this talk in TLP Community of Interest Workshop, 2021 Model-Based Enterprise Summit, NIST. This 10 minute video demonstrates work aimed at liberating today's reliability engineers from the tedium of manually reading maintenacne work orders to identify end-of-life events and tag them as failures or suspensions.
Unlocking Knowledge in Maintenance Work Orders with Echidna and Redcoat
Dr Stewart presents this talk in TLP Community of Interest Workshop, 2021 Model-Based Enterprise Summit, NIST. This demo show how we can use knowledge graphs to visualise and query data in maintenance work orders and other data sources such as delay accounting.
Ontologies
Digitalization and Reasoning Overengineering Textual Data Stored in FMEA Spreadsheet Tables
AMEST2020, Cambridge UK, Maintenance in the Digital Era.
Exploring Human-Computer Interaction in Ontologies: A Case Study
Briana's thesis discussion on exploring human-computer interaction.
Industrial Data and the Resurrection of Ontologies
Melinda describes IDO, the Industrial Data Ontology. As part of her sabbatical Melinda worked on the IDO submission documents to ISO and attended the 5-day ISO TC184 SC4 meeting as Australia’s nominated representative.
Linked Data - The Foundations of Enterprise AI
This is a recording of the presentation made by Dr. Woods at the UWA Data Institute's data.conversations event. She describes why and how Linked data is an important element in our move towards interoperability, particularly for engineering and maintenance data.
On-shoring Engineering Design - Enabling Cost Effective Design and Quality Control Checks - at Scale
This is a recording of a presentation by Professor Melinda Hodkiewicz at the FENEX (Future Energy Exports) CRC conference in Perth.
Ontologies to Formalise Tribal Knowledge and Share Semantics
GSWA - DEMIRS - GeoChat event. This high-level, non-technical talk desribes the perspective of a domain expert working with ontologists and industrial companies to develop shared, reusable domain ontologies.
Open access tools and data sets for AI enabled processing of maintenance texts
Presentation at the Perth 2025 Mainstream Summit that describes tools and data sets to improve quality of maintenance data, use AI to perform tasks routinely done (inconsistently) by reliability engineers and use existing ontologies to make specific processes more consistent, complete, repeatable and scalable.
Semantic Quality Assurance of Industrial Maintenance Procedures
Dr. Caitlin Woods from the University of Western Australia presents Semantic Quality Assurance of Industrial Maintenance Procedures to the ISO TC 184 SC4 WG26 (Ontology-based interoperability standard) meeting in Stavanger 2024.
Invited talks
Research Bytes: Unlocking knowledge buried within technical records
Technical records such as safety logs and maintenance work orders contain a wealth of critical information, yet they are seriously under utilised. We demonstrate how "technical language processing" can be employed to unlock this buried knowledge and provide significant benefit to industry professionals.
