*The Application of Ant Colony Optimization*

behind the IIoT is to connect computers, devices, sensors, and industrial equipment and applications within an organization and to continually collect data, such as system errors and machine telemetry, from all of these with the aim of analysing and acting on this data in order to optimize operational efficiencies. Predictive maintenance is more effective than performing preventive maintenance at frequent intervals, which could also be costlier because unnecessary maintenance may be applied on equipment.

The above types of maintenance strategies help organization to develop a comprehensive maintenance framework to maximize value and realise benefits. Specifically for mining equipment, the maintenance planning can be done at
