Abstract

Unexpected equipment failures are known to be one of the most critical causes of production losses. Such failures can result in increased maintenance cost, compromise safety of operators and increase operational inefficiency. Therefore, there is a growing interest to monitor equipment during normal operation and predict possible failure before it actually occurs. This paper describes a smart Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) framework to monitor industrial equipment in real time using ensemble learning for failure prediction. The framework initially collects a variety of real time operating parameters of industrial equipment such as temperature, vibration, speed, torque, pressure, etc from various industrial sensors. The collected data is then preprocessed using techniques such as treatment of missing values, noise removal, feature scaling, handling of class imbalance and feature selection to select most relevant features. The preprocessed data is then fed into various machine learning models such as random forest, support vector machine, gradient boosting and multi layer perceptron. A stacking-based ensemble model is used to combine the predictions of individual models to improve the overall prediction accuracy and stability. The final output of the framework is a classification of equipment condition into normal or failure-prone, along with a probability of failure. Shapley Additive explanations (SHAP) is used to provide both global and local interpretability to the predictions made by the model. The performance of the model is evaluated using various metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, area under receiver operating characteristic curve, false-alarm rate and inference time. The framework has potential to provide better failure detection using combination of IIoT monitoring and explainable AI, and provide understandable reasons for failure to maintenance personnel responsible for maintenance.

AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance Framework for Industrial IoT Systems using Google Cloud

Analytical preservation has become an vital strategy in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) locations for enlightening equipment reliability, dropping unforeseen machine failures, and enlightening trade productivity. This paper suggests an AI-driven predictive maintenance framework using the Google Cloud AI Platform for smart monitoring and fault estimate of engineering refining machines. The planned framework assembles and procedures real-time device data such as vibration, temperature, turning speed, and instrument wear from IIoT-enabled plans. Three machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), are practical and assessed to classify potential equipment letdowns before disappointment occurrence. Among the manufacturing models, the XGBoost classifier achieved the highest prediction accuracy of 99.18% with strong accuracy, recall, and AUC performance, on behalf of superior ability in early fault finding and analytical analytics. The grouping of Google Cloud AI services allows walkable model training, cloud-based supply, real-time specialist care, and efficient data organization for smart manufacturing applications. New results show significant improvements in upkeep efficiency, decrease in working downtime, and lower upkeep costs associated with traditional sensitive conservation approaches. The study highlights the productivity of joining IIoT sensor analytics, cloud computation, and progressive artificial intelligence methods for evolving smart and proactive industrial conservation arrangements in Industry 4.0 surroundings.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments plays a vital role in minimizing unplanned downtime, improving operational efficiency, and spreading equipment lifespan. This paper presents a Machine Learning (ML)-based predictive maintenance basis deployed on Google Cloud AI Platform for real-time monitoring and fault prediction of manufacturing milling machine devices.
