Abstract

A method and system for automatic maintenance of a machine (2) comprising the steps of receiving (S1) at least one maintenance relevant event (E) from a controller (3) of the machine (2); augmenting (S2) the received event (E) with the event's machine context read from a machine maintenance ontology; matching (S3) the event's machine context with maintenance rules to generate at least one maintenance task (T) comprising an associated task description; and providing (S4) a maintenance schedule for the machine (2) assigning the generated maintenance task (T) to suitable maintenance executing entities (5) on the basis of the task description of the respective maintenance task (T).
