Establish a "maintenance-production-quality" data center, unify metadata standards such as timestamps and equipment codes, avoid model deviations caused by data silos, and design an "AI early warning + expert verification" process. For example, after AI identifies an abnormality in a certain device, it automatically pushes maintenance suggestions to the engineer's mobile terminal. The engineer remotely confirms and executes through AR glasses, which increases the maintenance response speed by 50%.

A large, industrial machine component is centrally positioned in a factory setting. The machinery appears to be part of a mechanical assembly line, mounted on a sturdy black stand with a metallic surface. The background includes structural beams and various pieces of industrial equipment, with a focus on mechanical and robust engineering. The floor is painted a rusty red and the walls have industrial elements such as piping and storage areas.

A busy aircraft manufacturing facility with numerous workers engaged in assembling and constructing large components of airplanes. The factory is equipped with various workbenches, tools, and materials scattered throughout the spacious interior. Workers are wearing uniforms and appear to be focused on their tasks around partially assembled aircraft sections.

AI technology does not simply replace traditional evaluation methods, but pushes the concept of "eliminating waste" in lean maintenance to a new level of "predicting waste and preventing waste" by building "data-driven causal insights - intelligent decision-making with real-time response - and a continuously evolving evaluation system". Enterprises need to build data assets as a foundation and be guided by the value of business scenarios to gradually transform AI evaluation from an "efficiency tool" to a "strategic decision-making engine".

Predict the future

The AI evaluation system of the future will no longer be limited to "effect measurement", but will evolve into an intelligent system with "self-cognition, autonomous decision-making, and self-organization and collaboration". It is like the "digital immune system" of the manufacturing industry, which can not only accurately identify maintenance needs, but also optimize defense mechanisms through continuous learning like a living organism. Enterprises need to start laying out the "data-algorithm-computing power" trinity capability system from now on. In this maintenance revolution, let AI become the core engine for the transition of lean concepts from "human-driven" to "system self-healing".

An assembly line in a car manufacturing plant with several partially assembled vehicle frames lined up. Robotic equipment and wiring are visible, emphasizing the mechanical aspect of the production process. The environment is clean and organized, with bright overhead lighting illuminating the industrial setting.

Several workers are engaged in the maintenance and assembly of aircraft inside an expansive hangar. They are working on multiple planes, focusing on parts such as engines and propellers. The hangar is spacious with large windows and overhead steel beams, and there are various tools, workbenches, and equipment scattered throughout the workspace.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) methods to evaluate the implementation effect of the lean maintenance concept of manufacturing enterprises is essentially to transform the core goals of lean maintenance (such as reducing waste, improving equipment efficiency, and reducing costs) into a quantifiable and predictable indicator system through data-driven technical means, thereby achieving dynamic optimization and continuous improvement of maintenance strategies.
