Abstract

A work order management system automates the process of scheduling maintenance tasks and generating corresponding work orders via analysis of monitored data generated by the industrial assets. The work order management system can monitor status and operational data from industrial devices on the plant floor and initiate creation of work orders based on a determination that the monitored industrial data indicates a current or predicted performance risk requiring investigation or maintenance. The system can leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) or other types of AI in connection with determining when and how to schedule a maintenance task intended to mitigate asset risk. The system dynamically updates the work orders in response to changing contextual conditions within the plant to ensure that work order priority, scheduling, and resource allocations satisfy a defined maintenance optimization criterion.
