Given the critical role of the machine in the overall operational success of a factory, this study examines maintenance approaches that encompass autonomy by shifting from Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) involving corrective actions, and a run-to failure strategy. The primary focus of this research lies in the bands of historical data collection and analysis, highlighting three critical component-level failures of paramount importance for closely monitoring of the performance of the CNC machine. In the quest for an optimal maintenance strategy, the study assesses the viability of three distinct approaches: Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, and E-Maintenance (Autonomous). To ensure the sustained health and efficiency of the case machine production line, the research employs Pugh's elimination matrix table as an evaluation tool.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Autonomous maintenanceCNC machineEvaluationArticle
