Equipment Maintenance Prediction

# Equipment Maintenance Prediction

## Introduction & Motivation

Predicting equipment failures and maintenance needs through ML prevents costly downtime and optimizes maintenance scheduling. ML models identify degradation patterns for proactive maintenance decisions.

Motivation: Predict equipment failures and maintenance schedules.

Applications: Failure prediction, RUL estimation, maintenance scheduling, cost optimization.

## Appendix: Practical Labs

### Lab 1: Degradation Feature Extraction

import numpy as np

def extract_degradation_features(vibration_data, temperature_data):
 """Extract equipment degradation features"""
 features = np.array([
 np.mean(vibration_data),
 np.std(vibration_data),
 np.mean(temperature_data),
 np.max(vibration_data)
 ])
 return features

vibration = np.random.randn(100) + 0.5 * np.arange(100) / 100
temperature = 50 + np.arange(100) / 10

features = extract_degradation_features(vibration, temperature)

assert features.shape == (4,), "Feature extraction failed"
print(f"✓ Degradation features: {features}")

### Lab 2: RUL Prediction

import numpy as np

class RULPredictor:
 def __init__(self, descriptor_dim=10):
 self.weights = np.random.randn(descriptor_dim) * 0.1
 self.bias = 500
 
 def predict_rul(self, features):
 """Predict remaining useful life"""
 rul = features @ self.weights + self.bias
 rul = np.clip(rul, 0, 2000)
 return rul

features = np.random.randn(10)
predictor = RULPredictor()
rul = predictor.predict_rul(features)

assert rul >= 0, "RUL prediction failed"
print(f"✓ Remaining useful life: {rul:.0f} hours")

### Lab 3: Failure Risk Assessment

import numpy as np

def assess_failure_risk(current_health, degradation_rate):
 """Assess equipment failure risk"""
 if degradation_rate <= 0:
 return 0.0
 
 time_to_failure = current_health / degradation_rate
 risk = 1.0 / (1.0 + np.exp(time_to_failure))
 
 return np.clip(risk, 0, 1)

health = 30
rate = 2
risk = assess_failure_risk(health, rate)

assert 0 <= risk <= 1, "Risk assessment failed"
print(f"✓ Failure risk: {risk:.1%}")

### Lab 4: Maintenance Scheduling

import numpy as np

class MaintenanceScheduler:
 def __init__(self, risk_threshold=0.5):
 self.threshold = risk_threshold
 
 def recommend_maintenance(self, failure_risks):
 """Recommend maintenance based on risk"""
 maintenance_needed = []
 
 for i, risk in enumerate(failure_risks):
 if risk > self.threshold:
 maintenance_needed.append(i)
 
 return np.array(maintenance_needed)

risks = np.array([0.2, 0.6, 0.3, 0.8, 0.4])
scheduler = MaintenanceScheduler()
equipment = scheduler.recommend_maintenance(risks)

assert isinstance(equipment, np.ndarray), "Scheduling failed"
print(f"✓ Maintenance needed for equipment: {equipment}")
