排除事先未安排的停工維修從而降低整體生產系統之失效可能性，可幫助產品訂購承諾的達成。在探索更具效率的維修及服務策略的過程中，以修件為基礎之行動維修、協同維修、遠距維修及服務支援、及時資訊存取之提供與生產及維修之整合等方法已逐步發展成所謂的電子化維修以滿足未來電子自動化製造世界。本論文藉著研究支援下一世代製造系統之關鍵要素來介紹電子化維修此新興領域；我們將重點擺在工業無線科技及人工智慧，此二者在具規模性及敏捷性的電子化維修的實現上是不可缺的科技方法。本文將說明應用這些科技於電子化維修平台所面對的技術議題及挑戰，並簡潔地描述注重實效的履行架構。

Eliminating costly unscheduled shutdown maintenances and accordingly reducing the failures of production systems as a whole help deliver the promises 011 ordered products. In the exploration of more efficient maintenance and service strategies, the approaches of condition-based proactive maintenance, collaborative maintenance, remote maintenance and service support, provision for real-time information access, and integration of production with maintenance have evolved into a new phenomenon called e-maintenance to meet the needs of the future e-automation manufacturing world. This paper introduces the emerging field of e-maintenance by studying its critical elements in support of the deployment of next generation manufacturing systems; we focus 011 industrial wireless technology and artificial intelligence, which are two essential technological means in the realization of scalable and agile e-maintenance. The technical issues and challenges involved for applying these technologies in an e-maintenance platform are explained. Finally, a framework for practical implementations is briefly presented.
