Not least because of the triumph of different IoT technologies, the uptake of sensor data during the use phase of complex technical systems has become mandatory. These data, especially in combination with additional field data, promise to improve the technical management of systems. Various concepts have also been developed to determine the usefulness of returning the data to product development. Regardless of whether the use of the field data analysis is carried out within the utilisation phase or over phase boundaries, it is also a great challenge to process the data in such a way that information and action-oriented knowledge are generated. The consolidation of results from different analyses to uniform priorities of systems and system components is crucial for the management of systems, for example with regard to decision support. Therefore, an approach is presented and discussed in order to support the systematic combination of methods for sensor field data evaluation. This includes both a general approach model and a corresponding system architecture both on a methodology level. This approach is illustrated by an example and leads to the conclusion that multiple analyses of sensor series using different methods together lead to more reliable information on system components. With regard to the summary of the contribution, the approach shows great potential for the faster introduction of field data analyses in companies, but further developments are required for the selection of the individual methods as well as for the data compaction itself.
