In Industry 4.0, smart maintenance enhances equipment efficiency using digital tools, reducing downtime, and optimising performance, creating significant value for companies.

Smart maintenance centres on integrating and analysing data collected from machines, facilities or buildings through advanced sensors. These sensors continuously monitor equipment functionality and performance. Leveraging real-time data enables companies to implement proactive maintenance strategies and enhance equipment health.

This micro-credential provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to implement a comprehensive smart maintenance strategy. It also introduces the integration of algorithms and monitoring techniques with Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to ensure a robust maintenance approach.

Key topics include maintenance engineering principles, which cover practical methods and tools for developing and maintaining highly reliable plants, products, and services. It focuses on meeting design requirements while reducing life-cycle costs and promoting sustainability.

Learners will gain expertise in smart sensing for condition monitoring, equipping them with the essential skills to design and implement machine monitoring systems with smart sensors for engineering applications. Additionally, they will learn about condition-based maintenance, focusing on machine health monitoring techniques.  This includes topics in data cleaning and noise filtering, feature extraction, fault detection, fault diagnosis and machine condition prediction.

This micro-credential is part of the CSM Pathways in Infrastructure and Systems Engineering.

Who Should Attend

  • Learners with relevant polytechnic backgrounds seeking to augment their skill set with smart maintenance technologies.

  • Maintenance, production or process engineers in manufacturing, as well as engineers responsible for critical facilities.

Assumed Prior Knowledge
  • Learners are required to have knowledge of programming, engineering mathematics and data analytics.

What You Will Learn

This micro-credential is predominantly delivered through a competency-based education (CBE) approach where learners acquire and demonstrate mastery of knowledge and skills that are directly relevant to job functions. This prepares them to be industry-ready where they can apply their newly acquired competencies to their work.
