Abstract

For decades, researchers and practitioners have been trying to develop and deploy prognostics technologies with ad hoc and trial-and-error approaches. These efforts have resulted in limited success, due to the fact that it lacks a systematic approach and platform in deploying the right prognostics tools for the right applications. This paper introduces a methodology for designing a reconfigurable prognostics platform (RPP) which can be easily and effectively used to assess and predict the performance of machine tools. RPP can be installed on the equipment and it has the prognostic capabilities to convert the data into performance-related information. The equipment performance information can then be integrated into the enterprise asset management system for maintenance decision making through the Internet. Two industrial cases are used to validate the effectiveness of applying the RPP for different prognostic applications as well as the reconfigurable capabilities of the proposed RPP.

Prognostic design: requirements and tools
Eric Levrat

Maintenance plays now a critical role in manufacturing for achieving important cost savings and competitive advantage while preserving product conditions. It suggests moving from conventional maintenance practices to predictive strategy. Indeed the maintenance action has to be done at the right time based on the system health state and component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessed by a prognostic process. But this new process needs methodology to support its design phase. Thereby when requirements about the expected quality of prognostic results are made, questions about the selection of addressed failure modes and of their prognostic model/tool appear. Thus this paper faces with challenges by proposing a methodology enabling to guide the designer for answering the previous questions. This methodology describes tools needed to formalize the necessary system functional and dysfunctional knowledge and gives guidelines allowing to design prognostic process with the respect of expected requirements.

PHM SURVEY: Implementation of Prognostic Methods for Monitoring Industrial Systems
bilal elyousfi

Energies

Prognostics and Health Management (commonly called PHM) is a field that focuses on the degradation mechanisms of systems in order to estimate their health status, anticipate their failure and optimize their maintenance. PHM uses methods, tools and algorithms for monitoring, anomaly detection, cause diagnosis, prognosis of the remaining useful life (RUL) and maintenance optimization. It allows for permanently monitoring the health of the system and provides operators and managers with relevant information to decide on actions to be taken to maintain the system in optimal operational conditions. This paper aims to present the emergence of the PHM thematically to describe the subjacent processes, particularly prognosis, how it supplies the different maintenance strategies and to explain the benefits that can be anticipated. More specifically, this paper establishes a state of the art in prognostic methods used today in the PHM strategy. In addition, this paper shows the multitude of po...

Smart Prognostics and Health Management (SPHM) in Smart Manufacturing: An Interoperable Framework
Sarvesh Sundaram

Sensors, 2021

Advances in the manufacturing industry have led to modern approaches such as Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Systems, Smart Manufacturing (SM) and Digital Twins. The traditional manufacturing architecture that consisted of hierarchical layers has evolved into a hierarchy-free network in which all the areas of a manufacturing enterprise are interconnected. The field devices on the shop floor generate large amounts of data that can be useful for maintenance planning. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) approaches use this data and help us in fault detection and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation. Although there is a significant amount of research primarily focused on tool wear prediction and Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM), there is not much importance given to the multiple facets of PHM. This paper conducts a review of PHM approaches, the current research trends and proposes a three-phased interoperable framework to implement Smart Prognostics and Health Management (SPHM). The ...

Defining and implementing a distributed and reconfigurable information system for prognostics
R. Gouriveau, Christophe Varnier

2011 Prognostics and System Health Managment Confernece, 2011

According to Condition Based Maintenance practitioners, various activities, ranging from data collection through the recommendation of specific maintenance actions, must be carried out to perform predictive maintenance. Nevertheless, in practice, (and in spite of recommendations like those ones of the OSA-CBM standard), defining and implementing a computer software system for CBM is not a trivial task. That can be mostly explained by the necessity of providing a distributed application that enables to share data and information in an easy but effective manner in-between various actors from various industrial plants. Following that, the aim of the paper is to describe a collaborative software that has been developed in the society e-m@systec. Its simple architecture, as well as its evolving and customizable capabilities make the global information system as useful for distributed applications. The usage of JEE technology improves the portability of the system. This software is well adapted to support predictive maintenance strategies. Thereby and as for an illustration, an example related to a prognostic problem is also described.

Advances on prognostics for intelligent maintenance systems
Jay Lee

Proceedings of the 16th IFAC World Congress, 2005, 2005

An increasing number of manufacturers are beginning to realize the importance of adopting new maintenance technologies to enable products and systems to achieve near-zero downtime. Prognostic technology enables this paradigm shift from the traditional "fail and fix" maintenance practices to a "predict and prevent" paradigm. This paper addresses the current issues of prognostic applications in machinery maintenance, and presents an overall prognostic architecture called Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS). Discussion is focused on four aspects, including the relationship between diagnostics and prognostics, feature extraction methods, performance assessment techniques, and prediction algorithms.

Deployment of Prognostics Technologies and Tools for Asset Management: Platforms and Applications
Jay Lee

Engineering Asset Management Review, 2015

Over recent years, a significant amount of research has been dedicated to the development of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) models. However, less attention is paid towards implementing the developed models to real-world applications to serve the needs of industry. In order to successfully implement a PHM system, a systematic approach is required to deploy the developed analytic tools (algorithms, software and agents) using a scalable hardware platform. In this paper, different PHM deployment platforms including stand-alone PC, embedded and cloud-based platforms are benchmarked. Then, a unified strategy for deploying the developed PHM tools using each of these platforms is presented. A smart deployment platform selection method using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is also introduced. Following that, several case studies from different applications are provided as examples to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of each deployment platform.

Modelling condition-based maintenance to deliver a service to machine tool users
Richard Greenough

The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2010

This paper describes the development and validation of two software tools to explore the relationship between prognostics and health management (PHM) technologies and servitization in the machine tool industry. The software tools are based on software tools that were originally developed to analyse the costs and benefits of PHM technology in the aerospace industry. The development was initiated following an extensive review of relevant literature on both servitization and PHM technology. This review revealed the fact that the servitization literature makes almost no mention of the use of PHM technology to support servitization and the PHM literature makes almost no mention of the servitization business model that might justify expenditure on this technology. The tools model the life cycles of two sets of machine tools, with and without PHM technology, before calculating the net present value of the costs and benefits of PHM in the context of a servitization business model. Although the data used in the tools are hypothetical, the approach taken in the models was validated through interviews with a major machine tool vendor. This research extends existing knowledge on servitization as published in the management literature by linking it to research into PHM as published in the systems engineering literature. The paper concludes by indicating the need for more empirical data on the reliability of machine tool subsystems in order to increase confidence in the value of PHM technology to support machine tool servitization.

Review, analysis and synthesis of prognostic-based decision support methods for condition based maintenance
Gregoris Mentzas

Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, 2015

In manufacturing enterprises, maintenance is a significant contributor to the total company's cost. Condition based maintenance (CBM) relies on prognostic models and uses them to support maintenance decisions based on the predicted condition of equipment. Although prognostic-based decision support for CBM is not an extensively explored area, there exist methods which have been developed in order to deal with specific challenges such as the need to cope with real-time information, to predict the health state of equipment and to continuously update maintenance-related recommendations. The current work aims at providing a literature review for prognostic-based decision support methods for CBM. We analyse the literature in order to identify combinations of methods for prognostic-based decision support for CBM, propose a practical technique for selecting suitable combinations of methods and set the guidelines for future research.

Intelligent prognostics tools and e-maintenance
Jay Lee

Computers in Industry, 2006

In today's global competitive marketplace, there is intense pressure for manufacturing industries to continuously reduce and eliminate costly, unscheduled downtime and unexpected breakdowns. With the advent of Internet and tether-free technologies, companies necessitate dramatic changes in transforming traditional ''fail and fix (FAF)'' maintenance practices to a ''predict and prevent (PAP)'' e-maintenance methodology. Emaintenance addresses the fundamental needs of predictive intelligence tools to monitor the degradation rather than detecting the faults in a networked environment and, ultimately to optimize asset utilization in the facility. This paper introduces the emerging field of e-maintenance and its critical elements. Furthermore, performance assessment and prediction tools are introduced for continuous assessment and prediction of a particular product's performance, ultimately enable proactive maintenance to prevent machine from breakdowns. Recent advances on intelligent prognostic technologies and tools are discussed. Several case studies are introduced to validate these developed technologies and tools. #

A Review of Research in Manufacturing Prognostics
Kiah Mok Goh, Benny Tjahjono

2006

With the fast changing global business landscape, manufacturing companies are facing increasing challenge to reduce cost of production, increase equipment utilization and provide innovative products in order to compete with countries with low labour cost and production cost. On of the methods is zero down time. Unfortunately, the current research and industrial solution does not provide user friendly development environment to create "Adaptive microprocessor size with supercomputer performance" solution to reduce downtime. Most of the solutions are PC based computer with off the shelf research software tools which is inadequate for the space constraint manufacturing environment in developed countries. On the other hand, to develop solution for various manufacturing domain will take too much time, there is lacking tools available for rapid or adaptive way of create the solution. Therefore, this research is to understand the needs, trends, gaps of manufacturing prognostics and defines the research potential related to rapid embedded system framework for prognostics.

Prognostics and health management design for rotary machinery systems—Reviews, methodology and applications
Jay Lee

Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2014

Much research has been conducted in prognostics and health management (PHM), an emerging field in mechanical engineering that is gaining interest from both academia and industry. Most of these efforts have been in the area of machinery PHM, resulting in the development of many algorithms for this particular application. The majority of these algorithms concentrate on applications involving common rotary machinery components, such as bearings and gears. Knowledge of this prior work is a necessity for any future research efforts to be conducted; however, there has not been a comprehensive overview that details previous and on-going efforts in PHM. In addition, a systematic method for developing and deploying a PHM system has yet to be established. Such a method would enable rapid customization and integration of PHM systems for diverse applications. To address these gaps, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the PHM field, followed by an introduction of a systematic PHM design methodology, 5S methodology, for converting data to prognostics information. This methodology includes procedures for identifying critical components, as well as tools for selecting the most appropriate algorithms for specific applications. Visualization tools are presented for displaying prognostics information in an appropriate fashion for quick and accurate decision making. Industrial case studies are included in this paper to show how this methodology can help in the design of an effective PHM system.

A prognostic algorithm for machine performance assessment and its application
Jay Lee, Muammer Koç

Production Planning & Control, 2004

This paper explores a method to assess assets performance and predict the remaining useful life, which would lead to proactive maintenance processes to minimize downtime of machinery and production in various industries, thus increasing efficiency of operations and manufacturing. At first, a performance model is established by taking advantage of logistic regression analysis with maximum-likelihood technique. Two kinds of application situations, with or without enough historical data, are discussed in detail. Then, realtime performance is evaluated by inputting features of online data to the logistic model. Finally, the remaining life is estimated using an ARMA model based on machine performance history; degradation predictions are also upgraded dynamically.

A Framework of an Intelligent Maintenance Prognosis Tool
mokhtar mohd yusof

Second International Conference …, 2010

The technology of prognosis has become a significant approach but its implementation in maintenance has a major extension. The ability prognosis in the medical area has been established to estimate the future of human health. However, in maintenance, application of prognosis is not yet seen as a practical use for making better maintenance decision. To date, research in this area has been done in proposing prognosis techniques or model but leaving the implementation of prognosis as their future work. In this paper, an overview of prognosis in maintenance is presented. By using the data-driven approach, a framework for implementing of an intelligent maintenance prognosis tool is introduced. The framework utilizes the existing equipment operating performance data in the industry for prognosis process. Next, the framework combines the ability of prognosis in estimating remaining useful life (RUL) of equipment with the maintenance action knowledge to generate a well-received maintenance plan.
