Abstract
This paper investigates how maintenance of maintenance-intensive products can be improved from a service-center's perspective. It analyzes requirements and current approaches. Research results include: The lack of unique product information often causes economic losses for companies. Ubiquitous computing technologies such as automatic identification (Auto-ID) can be used to obtain lifecycle information associated with a product and product parts. They enable benefits in the maintenance process itself such as efficiency gains due to a higher data accuracy and less manual mistakes. The data can provide benefits for future product lifecycles as well: quality improvements and simplified variant management become possible.
