Topics Classification

1. Advanced Maintenance Engineering & Management

This thematic area focuses on advanced approaches to maintenance engineering and management, addressing the evolution from traditional maintenance practices towards predictive, prescriptive and integrated strategies.

It covers the planning, scheduling and optimization of maintenance activities, as well as their integration with production systems, bringing together perspectives from both AMEST 2027 and IMS 2027.

1.1. Advanced maintenance engineering, management and services | AMEST 2027

Explores advanced methods, technologies and management approaches for improving maintenance processes, services and organizational performance across industrial environments.

1.2. Predictive and prescriptive maintenance | AMEST 2027

Focuses on data-driven approaches to anticipate failures and support maintenance decisions, moving from prediction towards optimized and actionable maintenance strategies.

1.3. Maintenance planning, scheduling and optimization | AMEST 2027

Addresses methods and decision-support approaches for planning, scheduling and optimizing maintenance activities, resources and interventions in complex industrial systems.

1.4. Integrated production and maintenance | AMEST 2027

Examines the coordination of production and maintenance activities to improve system availability, operational efficiency and overall manufacturing performance.

1.5. Integrated Production & Maintenance | Joint AMEST–IMS

Brings together maintenance and manufacturing perspectives to explore integrated strategies, models and decision-making approaches across production and maintenance systems.
