TUTORIAL SESSION
Predictive Maintenance - Zero-Breakdown Machines and Service: Fundamental Knowledge, Emerging Technologies and Case Studies
Abstract
Prognostics Health Management has become increasingly important over the past decade as a means to maximize the asset usage and plant operating efficiency. The Prognostics Health Management methodology and techniques have attracted strong research interest of the past decade. This tutorial will provide the participants with fundamental knowledge and practical case-studies of Prognostics Health Management and Condition based Maintenance technologies as applied to industry processes. The Intelligent Maintenance Systems framework and architecture, technologies of sensing, signal process, feature extraction and selection and advanced prognostics and predictive analytics will be discussed. Several industry case-studies will provide practical insights into how these emerging technologies are deployed in manufacturing and service industries.Objectives
This tutorial will help attendees to:• Learn and gain insight into the state-of-the-art technologies and systematic tools of Prognostics Health Management.
• Find out through in-depth case studies of how today’s global companies are leading the market as pioneers in predictive manufacturing and service.
