Federated hybrid ARIMAX-LSTM for collaborative fan fault prognostics: A cement plant case study
摘要
Ensuring the reliability of critical industrial assets is a major challenge in Industry 4.0, particularly in multi-site environments where centralized predictive maintenance approaches are constrained by data privacy and scalability. This paper proposes a novel federated hybrid ARIMAX–LSTM framework for collaborative fan fault prognostics in the cement industry. The proposed approach combines statistical time-series modeling (ARIMAX) with deep learning (LSTM) within a Federated Learning (FL) architecture, where only the LSTM parameters are collaboratively aggregated, ensuring that raw operational data remain local to each industrial site. Experimental validation on real-world vibration data from a cement plant demonstrates that the proposed hybrid model outperforms standalone ARIMAX, LSTM, and XGBoost models, achieving an RMSE of 0.069, MAE of 0.015, and R
