According to a recent survey, 10% to 25% of downtime and production losses occur frequently due to
predictive maintenance issues (PdM) within heavy industrial manufacturing sites, resulting in large losses
and costly deals for the business. This would be important when considering a Make to Order (MTO) and
Make to Stock (MTS) scenario which is very tedious and critical to manage through a standard operation
activities. Certainly, a computational methods, AI,ML and spilt technology could potentially help to manage
the PdM in production and manufacturing sites.
Artificial Intelligence Conducts Predictive Maintenance in Manufacturing
In the manufacturing sites, smart equipment's and machines have a setup routines, and historical data
which needs regular checkup and predictive maintaince as per the day-to-day activities. Generally, it
needs the inspection, repairs and maintaince tasks which could be a part of operational tasks in
production units. Maintaining a manual task or maintaince planning could be as difficult for a plant
operator or a site supervisors as it could be well managed by computational tools, which may be effective
and accurate in the manufacturing sites.
AI, and ML can be a cost-effective approach for iterations required to identify data that can be used for
the detection of failure patterns. Data necessary for predictive maintenance collected using sensors
include temperature, humidity, pressure and vibration, which then need to be measured and analyzed.
Even when SCADA (Supervision and Data Acquisition) systems are used to collect data, visualize, and
trigger alerts, it requires a lot of human intervention for operation. Manually interpreting this data in real-
time to detect anomalies is exceedingly difficult. Both AI, ML can analyze the data in real-time and detect
failure patterns, preventing downtime and optimizing production.
AI-enabled Split-Migration Architecture In Industrial Manufacturing:
Gradual Failure State (100); These are the malfunctions that become
apparent over time as a machine’s usefulness gradually deteriorates.
Regular maintenance can frequently stop Gradual breakdowns. For this
work, we assume an intermittent failure state and a gradual failure state
as a degrading state (100).
Data from the Core ERP-SAP S/4 HANA: Most of the core manufacturing, supply chain, device and IIoT sensors data are driving
from SAP system and from the SAP IAM core systems within the manufacturing sites .
PLC(Programable logic Data): All these data are captured from the human and equipment's and machine interaction, and which can be
used to analyze human inputs and the machine’s output.
IIoTs/Sensor Data on Equipment: Data are coming from the Industrial IoT devices, data from the devices( data on heat, humidity,
vibrations, etc., ), these data have a contributory role in machinery breakdown and maintaince KPIs. AI, ML can be used to analyze this data,
along with other data types to detect failure patterns and prevent machines from breaking down in any industrial sites.
Historical Data: Data on previous malfunctions and breakdowns can be used along with sensors to accurately assess the current state of the
machine and determine when it is likely to develop similar issues.
External Data and Computer Vision Data: External data are from the equipment and general environment, such as weather data,
can be used in combination with other data types to measure impact on equipment’s functioning at the manufacturing sites, and the information
coming from the camera as it watches equipment function and does a qualitative assessment of products on the assembly line.
Implementation Strategy to adopt in Predictive maintenance
A few of the key critical steps which need to be followed to obtain the PdM are listed below:

Training on the best implementation methods for preventive maintenance plans in Industrial sites.
In the industrial manufacturing space, reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) offers a wide range of service-based
maintenance and ensures that all systems can run at optimal efficiency and accuracy as per the business needs. It
offers best practices and adaptive models to save money, improve safety, and enhance machine performance and
reliability in industrial manufacturing sites.
Benefits of the RCM approach:
Cost efficiency
Improved performance:
Enhanced safety
Equipment longevity
Production predictability.
The RCM-based predictive maintenance could be assessed and achieved with the following steps, and it should be
applied to the Industrial applications and production units.
