Abstract: In this study, a data driven predictive maintenance system was developed
for production lines in manufacturing. By utilizing the data generated from IoT
sensors in real-time, the system aims to detect signals for potential failures
before they occur by using machine learning methods. Consequently, it helps address
the issues by notifying operators early such that preventive actions can be taken
prior to a production stop. In current study, the effectiveness of the system was
also assessed using real-world manufacturing system IoT data. The evaluation
results indicated that the predictive maintenance system was successful in
identifying the indicators of potential failures and it can help prevent some
production stops from happening. The findings of comparative evaluations of machine
learning algorithms indicated that models of Random Forest, a bagging ensemble
algorithm, and XGBoost, a boosting method, appeared to outperform the individual
algorithms in the assessment. The best performing machine learning models in this
study have been integrated into the production system in the factory.
