Pump anomaly detection based on More details on this use-case 

vibrations Approach
Predictive maintenance is a maintenance strategy that uses machine learning to predict when
equipment is likely to fail. Industrial equipment, such as water pumps, produce different signals
during operation. By placing sensors on these pieces of equipment for data collection, it is
possible to use machine learning to recognize normal and abnormal behavioral patterns. This
proactive approach aims at minimizing downtime, increasing efficiency, and extending
equipment lifespan. We implemented the following approach on a water pump: we collected
and analyzed its vibrations and used a machine learning model to detect anomalies. This
approach can easily be adapted to many other industrial machines.
In this project, we used a first circuit to log the vibration data of the
pump using an accelerometer. We gathered both normal and abnormal
signals, which were created by closing the taps that diverted the flow of
water.
We then created an anomaly detection model in the NanoEdge AI
Studio. The software tool generated the most optimized model for our
learning data. The model created was loaded on a Proteus board and
connected to a first circuit. This prototype allowed us to detect both
normal and abnormal data in real time.
We then moved the Proteus board containing the model to a second
circuit. We used on-edge learning to retrain the same model with the
signals of the new circuit in few seconds. The model performed well on
the new circuit, even if it was originally optimized for the first one.
