Including operator´s skill and environment conditions in IMS

This study intends to consider the operator skill and the environment conditions as variables of Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS). In this sense maintenance operations associated with the technical skills and environment factors through sensory perception can represent important strategy to improve the IMS. This approach considers the Cyber-Physical Systems (or CPS) paradigm to acquire human and context factors once that CPS system combines coordinates physical and computational elements. Thus this study proposes the CPS use for taking account the operator´s skill and environment conditions for maintenance strategies. This proposal aims the developing of Advanced Human Computer Interface for Intelligent Maintenance Systems that consider the operator´s skill and environment. The validation will be accomplished by interface named Toogle where two case studies will be tested.
