 Introduction
 Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and
data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-
physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and
cognitive computing. Industry 4.0 creates what has been called a
"smart factory".
 Within the modular structured smart factories, cyber-physical
systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the
physical world and make decentralized decisions.
 Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems
communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in
real time, and via cloud computing, both internal and cross-
organizational services are offered and used by participants of
the value chain.
 Problem definition
Maintenance is a critical activity that takes place at the
manufacturing shop-floor. Insufficient maintenance has an impact
both on the performance of the production process as well as on the
quality of the finished product. A proper level of detailed
maintenance instructions should be provided to the maintenance
personnel, according to their level of expertise.

 Analysis of the industrial requirements

The most important use cases, having derived from the

analysis of the requirements, are the following:
1. Use case 1 (UC1): Line stoppage identification.
2. Use case 2 (UC2): Line operator and field operator’s
collaboration resolving line stoppage.
3. Use case 3 (UC3): Line personnel and maintenance
personnel resolving line stoppage
