ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Maintenance is increasingly being digitalised in line with the transpiring Industry 4.0 movement. This trend sees the realisation of smart maintenance strategies and systems that allow organisations to take better control of their maintenance. Inner city public bus services contribute to the sustainability of cities and can only do so if they possess the means to provide trouble-free and e ective transportation. The opportunity exists to develop a smart maintenance system for these organisations to minimise the downtime of unexpected breakdowns and ensure the reliable operation of inner city buses. The identi ed problem is that the maintenance approaches and systems that are currently in use at inner city public bus services are based on previous technological and industrialisation methods. Smart maintenance and Industry 4.0 technologies can optimise maintenance at these organisations and support informed decision-making. A literature review is conducted that identi es the Industry 4.0 technologies that support smart maintenance and the fundamental requirements of a smart maintenance system. Based on the feedback from an internationally conducted empirical investigation it is found that inner city bus services utilise Industry 4.0 technologies only to a minimal degree in their maintenance practices. This investigation also determined the parameters in uencing the reliability and causing downtime of inner city buses. The smart maintenance system is designed by taking into account the ndings from an extensive literature review and the feedback from structured interviews with representatives of bus services. Requirements for the smart maintenance system are de ned, and an architecture is laid out that positions the functions of the system. Validation of the system is performed as a case study with an industry partner. For conducting the case study, a concept demonstrator is designed according to the de ned system and addresses the main problem causing downtime of the buses at the industry partner. Tests are conducted with the demonstrator to verify the smart maintenance system's functionalities. AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: Instandhouding word toenemend gedigitaliseer in ooreenstemming met die huidige Industrie 4.0 beweging. Hierdie tendens sien die verwesenliking van slim instandhoudingstrategie ë en -stelsels wat organisasies in staat stel om beter beheer oor hul eie instandhouding te neem. Binnestedelike openbare busdienste dra by tot die volhoubaarheid van stede en kan dit slegs doen as hulle oor die nodige middele beskik om probleemvrye en doeltre ende vervoer te verskaf. Daar bestaan 'n geleentheid om 'n slim instandhoudingstelsel vir hierdie organisasies te ontwikkel om die staantyd van onverwagte onklaarrakings te minimaliseer en die betroubare werking van binnestedelike busse te verseker. Die geïdenti seerde probleem is die instandhoudingsbenaderings en -stelsels wat tans by binnestedelike openbare busdienste gebruik word, is gebaseer op vorige tegnologiese en industrialisasiemetodes. Slim instandhouding en Industrie 4.0 tegnologieë kan instandhouding by hierdie organisasies optimiseer en ingeligte besluitneming ondersteun. 'n Literatuurstudie word gedoen om die Industrie 4.0 tegnologieë te identi seer wat slim instandhouding ondersteun. Die literatuurstudie bepaal ook die fundamentele vereistes van 'n slim instandhoudingstelsel. Gebaseer op die terugvoer van 'n internasionaal uitgevoerde empiriese ondersoek word bevind dat binnestedelike busdienste Industrie 4.0 tegnologieë minimaal in hul instandhoudingspraktyke benut. Hierdie ondersoek het ook bepaal wat die betroubaarheid en onklaarraking van binnestedelike busse beïnvloed. Die slim instandhoudingstelsel is ontwerp deur die bevindinge van 'n uitgebreide literatuurstudie en die terugvoer van gestruktureerde onderhoude met verteenwoordigers van busdienste in ag te neem. Vereistes vir die slim instandhoudingstelsel word gede nieer, en 'n argitektuur word uitgelê wat die funksies van die stelsel posisioneer. Validasie van die stelsel word uitgevoer as 'n gevallestudie met 'n bedryfsvennoot. Vir die uitvoering van die gevallestudie word 'n konsepdemonstreeder volgens die gede nieerde stelsel ontwerp wat die hoofprobleem van onklaarraking van die busse by die bedryfsvennoot veroorsaak, aanspreek. Toetse word met die demonstreeder uitgevoer ten einde die slim instandhoudingstelsel se funksionaliteite te veri eer.
