The WelCOM project proposes a reference platform implementation utilizing wireless sensor networking, mobile computing devices and web services to perform e-maintenance tasks. The platform will utilize advanced software tools and techniques such as Novelty Detection & Diagnostic Algorithms, Semantic Maintenance Data Representation, Portal Administration and Remote Data Services, including Mobile and Wireless solutions. These components of the WelCOM reference platform are being developed with a view to facilitating interoperability with existing automation data acquisition and enterprise IT systems (CMMS, ERP, etc).

The WelCOM workplan comprises 9 workpackages:

• WP1 - REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS, SPECIFICATIONS & ARCHITECTURE
• WP2 - SENSORS DEFINITION AND COMMISSIONING
• WP3 - WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKING
• WP4 - SENSOR PLATFORM HARDWARE & SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
• WP5 - SENSOR EMBEDDED INTELLIGENCE
• WP6 - INTELLIGENT MAINTENANCE SERVICES
• WP7 - SYSTEM INTEGRATION, TESTING & TUNING
• WP8 - PILOT INSTALLATION & TESTING
• WP9 - VALORISATION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
