A Machine Learning Based Open-Source Tool for Predictive Maintenance
摘要
With the adoption of the concept of Industry 4.0, the machinery used in large industries is getting more intelligent and complex. Therefore, designing an accurate and reliable fault detection and prediction system remains crucial. Poorly maintained machines can have consequences like replacement of components, severe accidents, etc., leading to downtime and business losses. It suggests that a proper maintenance-related decision-making system is crucial for monitoring the health of machines. The paper aims to develop an open-source predictive maintenance toolkit (called PdMTKT) for fault analysis and prediction. The tool follows a modular architecture with separate modules for data analysis, visualization, processing, and training predictive models. All the modules in PdMTKT have user-friendly graphical user interfaces (GUI) and are currently under active development. The toolkit has been evaluated using the engine health data from the CMAPSS database as a test case, where PdMTKT can perform trend analysis, forecasting and prediction of the engines’ remaining useful life (RUL). Upon full development, PdMTKT aims to be a general-purpose, open-source tool for the predictive maintenance activity of different machines.
