Adaptive central maintenance system and method for planning maintenance operation for systems

A method for planning maintenance operations of a system, comprising the steps:

• monitoring the system for faults;
• generating, by a processor, maintenance information that contains information on a maintenance operation to be carried out if a fault occurs, wherein a maintenance operation that is correlated to the occurred fault and has the highest rating is selected from a rating table;
• monitoring the system for replacement of system components as well as the correction of an identified fault subsequently;
• and
• adapting the rating of the performed maintenance operation in the rating table in dependence on the status of the fault after the maintenance operation.

A vehicle with a maintenance system for generating maintenance information on at least one system that contains several system components, comprising

• at least one arithmetic unit;
• and
• at least one input/output means;
• wherein the maintenance system is configured for receiving operational data of a system from a central control unit of the system;
• wherein the maintenance system is further configured for identifying a fault of a system component based on the operational data;
• wherein the maintenance system is further configured for comparing the identified fault with predefined known faults;
• wherein the maintenance system is further configured for retrieving already performed or predefined maintenance operations that are correlated to the known faults from a random access memory, as well as for selecting and outputting as maintenance information a maintenance operation that is correlated to the identified fault in order to correct the fault;
• and
• wherein the maintenance system is configured for determining the replacement of a system component and the correction of an identified fault.
