Figure 1
A flowchart diagram illustrating the implementation of smart maintenance technologies at case companies. The diagram is divided into three coding cycles: first cycle coding, second cycle coding, and third cycle coding. Each cycle contains various codes that are grouped into categories and themes. The codes include activities such as generating ideas, prioritizing ideas, understanding needs, conducting pilot projects, assessing project profitability, and evaluating maintenance maturity. These codes are grouped into categories like pre-study, machine selection, cross-functional team, the goal and expectation of the technology, the decision on what technology to implement, installation, and evaluation. These categories are further grouped into themes: organization, human, and technical. The flowchart shows the relationships and flow between these codes, categories, and themes, illustrating the process of implementing smart maintenance technologies.The empirical data structure, visualizing how smart maintenance technologies are implemented at the case companies.
