Summary:
With increasing automation and rising production rates, the service and maintenance of a printing machine are gaining significance. A full link-up with wearing and condition of the press is still needed. The objective of the new project started in the Technical Research Centre of Finland is to set up a pilot system for the all-in maintenance control of a newspaper press consisting of the measuring equipment, with a section for the analysis of the measurements, and including an analysis-based expert system, data management for service automation, instructions for maintenance measures, and a user interface. The pilot system will be run by a workstation, using the newspaper printing plant of Sanoma Osakeyhtio (the Helsingin Sanomat) as the test environment and employing their systems.

Since the projected system is based on press-independent machine part and fault knowledge models, it can be applied at the product development stage to other newspaper presses by simply altering the machine definitions (structural database) and the fault knowledge model.
