Abstract
The notion of predictive maintenance is perceived as a breakthrough in the manufacturing and other industrial sectors. The recent developments in this field can be attributed to the amalgamation of Artificial Intelligence- and Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions in predicting the health state of the machines. Most of the existing machine learning models are a hybridization of common ML algorithms that require extensive feature engineering. However, the real time deployment of these models demands a lower computational effort with higher accuracy. The proposed Multi-labeled Context-based Multilayered Bayesian Inferential (M-CMBI) predictive analytic classification framework is a novel approach that uses a cognitive approach by mimicking the brain’s activity, termed MisMatch Negativity (MMN), to classify the faults. This adaptive model aims to classify the faults into multiple classes based on the estimated fault magnitude. This model is tested for efficacy on the Pump dataset which contains 52 items of raw sensor data to predict the class into normal, broken and recovering. Not all sensor data will contribute to the quality of prediction. Hence, the nature of the sensor data is analyzed using Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to prioritize the significance of the sensors and the faults are classified based on their fault magnitude. The results of the classification are validated on metrics such as accuracy, F1-Score, Precision and Recall against state of art techniques. Thus, the proposed model can yield promising results without time-consuming feature engineering and complex signal processing tasks, making it highly favorable to be deployed in real-time applications.
