A Machine Learning Approach in Predictive Maintenance in the IoT Enabled Industry 4.0

Abstract

Predictive maintenance using machine learning is a powerful technique for industries seeking to enhance their operations with minimize downtime. In an IoTenabled Industry 4.0 environment, this approach can be taken to a new level by leveraging the vast amounts of data generated by connected devices. To implement a machine learning methodology to projecting conservation in an Industry 4.0 environment, several key steps need to be taken. First, data from IoT devices across the industrial ecosystem should be collected and centralized in a data lake or similar storage system. This data should include information on equipment health, sensor readings, and other relevant metrics. Next, the data should be preprocessed and transformed to ensure its quality and consistency. This may involve cleaning, normalization, and feature engineering to create relevant variables for use in machine learning models. Once the data has been preprocessed, a range of machine learning models can be trained on it to predict equipment failures or other maintenance issues. This may involve ongoing tuning and optimization of model hyperparameters or retraining the models on new data as it becomes available. Finally, the predictions generated by the machine learning models should be integrated into a broader maintenance management system to enable timely action. This may include triggering maintenance requests, generating work orders, or even automating maintenance tasks through the use of robots or other industrial automation technologies. By implementing a machine learning method to projecting preservation in an IoTenabled Industry 4.0 environment, industries can optimize their operations, minimize downtime, and improve overall equipment effectiveness. © 2023 IEEE.
