Implementing Machine Learning for Predictive Maintenance in Industrial Machinery

The maintenance of industrial machinery is critical for ensuring operational efficiency and preventing costly downtimes. Traditional maintenance practices, such as scheduled and reactive maintenance processes can often be inefficient, leading to unnecessary disruptions. In this context, predictive maintenance (PDM) emerges as a promising approach involves leveraging machine learning techniques. to predict equipment failures before they occur. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of predictive maintenance applied to industrial machines using machine learning algorithms. By analysing historical data, monitoring equipment conditions in real-time, and employing advanced analytics, predictive maintenance models can accurately forecast impending failures and prescribe proactive maintenance actions. Through case studies and experimental results, the efficacy of machine learning-based predictive maintenance in improving equipment reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and minimizing unplanned downtime is demonstrated. Furthermore, the paper discusses implementation challenges, best practices, and future directions in the field of predictive maintenance for industrial machinery.
