Fielded Systems

The Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2009 will feature a “Fielded Systems” session. In this session, invited speakers will discuss their experience with fielded PHM solutions. A fielded system is one that has left the prototype stage and that has been in active use over a long period of time for a sizable number of units (where “sizable” depends on the application domain). The emphasis is on sharing lessons learned, both good and bad.

The Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2009 will feature a “Fielded Systems” session. In this session, invited speakers will discuss their experience with fielded PHM solutions. A fielded system is one that has left the prototype stage and that has been in active use over a long period of time for a sizable number of units (where “sizable” depends on the application domain). The emphasis is on sharing lessons learned, both good and bad. The lectures will provide interesting insights into what the value proposition was, which corrections had to be made, what some of the shortcomings were, and what the user reaction was (and, in addition, some anecdotal notes). These insights might provide a calibration point for transitioning PHM solutions, and they might provide ideas for future research.

The presentation titles give access to downloadable presentation material.
