Abstract

Digital manufacturing increases production efficiency and reduces production costs, but also increases the system complexity.
Condition monitoring of electromechanical systems is a vital component of digital manufacturing. It saves cost by enhancing the smooth running of machines; preventing catastrophic breakdown and unwanted maintenance schedules. For these reasons sensors are attached to the critical components of a machine to gather relevant information/data about its states. This project presents a system called the Virtual Engineer (TVE), which takes vibration sensor as input and the Kurtosis of the vibration signal as features, and use machine learning based method to evaluate the health state of the system.

Using this approach, over a period of thirty-six months, 92.3% of the developed faults have been successfully identified.
