Intelligence Based Condition Monitoring Model

Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that reduces equipment downtime, production loss, and maintenance cost based on changes in equipment condition (e.g., changes in vibration, changes in power usage, changes in operating performance, changes in temperatures, changes in noise levels, changes in chemical composition, increase in debris content and changes in the volume of material). In this study, we present the newly developed Condition Monitoring Model (CMM) based on an ensemble machine-learning model that utilizes the random forest, support vector machine, and artificial neural network classifiers, to classify data points from the normal state of a rotating machine. The efficacy of the model in adequately detecting and diagnosing faults in the rotating machine for maintenance planning is discussed in this paper. The developed model can efficiently avoid unnecessary maintenance and make timely actions by analyzing the received vibration signals from the rotating machine. An illustrative example is demonstrated to present the application of the model.
