eMaintenance with application of information and communication technology (ICT) and condition monitoring is becoming the central theme for industry world over. The emergence of eMaintenance enabled with software, hardware, embedded sensors and wireless network are going to play a major role in the life cycle of the plant and machineries. eMaintenance concept is finding its applications in various industrial sectors like; railway, energy, mining and process industries. The focus of industry's eMaintenance applications is to monitor, control and carry out real time decision making from any location, with the goal to be dynamically competitive global players. The role of condition monitoring, and ICT in eMaintenance research and application is well established, which facilitates effective management of the operation and maintenance process. Thus, more and more eMaintenance applications with R&D focus for finding innovative solutions for the industries are at its prime today. eMaintenance facilitates and supports different interconnected technical and organizational levels in organizations by providing an effective and efficient infrastructure for decision-making.Under this business and global scenario, the Division of Operation and Maintenance Engineering, who are involved in eMaintenance research projects since 2004, took a lead role to provide a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences amongst the academia and industry participants. After successful conduct of first two international workshop and congress on eMaintenance, the Third International Workshop and Congress is being organized during 17-18 June 2014, in Luleå University of Technology with a theme of "Trends in technologies & methodologies, challenges, possibilities and applications.
