Building a Computerised Maintenance Management System with Hyperledger Fabric

A Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a cornerstone of any excellently exercised maintenance policy. Defining the maintenance strategy and incorporating digital technology will give an edge to every technology enterprise. On the brick of the fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, digitalisation plays a massive part in structuring the manufacturing, operational and maintenance processes in almost every Industry. From the stands of public transport, provided by the ropeway technology or Ariel Ropeway Transit systems, and massive demand for safe and reliable operations, new emerging technology has to deal with the enormous amount of data calculated, analysed and compiled in new digital technologies. This presentation exploits how Blockchain technology and Hyperledger Fabric protocol and the Internet of Things and its features could build a safe and secure CMMS with traceable data on a decentralised ledger, immutable transactions, and keep resilient and reliable records. The proposed system follows the four paradigms, Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and Smart Maintenance. The presentation reviews the development of Smart Contracts to enhance maintenance operations, incorporate maintenance strategies and policies and deliver the overall operational excellence of an enterprise. Furthermore, this presentation will explore and defines further work on developing Smart Contracts for different business segments of an enterprise as Operations, Finance, Health & Safety, integrating them with Maintenance Operations.
