Smart TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) represents the evolution of traditional, lean-based factory maintenance into a data-driven, intelligent ecosystem accelerated by Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 technologies. While traditional TPM relies on human-scheduled routines and basic operator checks to eliminate breakdowns, Smart TPM blends Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Twins to automate data capture and enable predictive self-optimization.
This digital framework transforms maintenance from a reactive or rigidly scheduled cost center into a core enabler of industrial resilience and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The Evolution: Traditional vs. Smart TPM
Traditional TPM, introduced in the 1970s, established that equipment health is everyone’s responsibility. However, manual data logging struggled to scale within modern, highly automated facilities. How Digital Transformation Enhances TPM in Manufacturing
