Fault Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance

Introduction: With the increase in the degree of intelligence and complexity of industrial equipment, the traditional “repair after the fact” and “regular maintenance” model has been difficult to meet the stringent needs of modern industry for safety, reliability and economy. In intelligent manufacturing, new energy, aerospace and other fields, equipment failure may lead to significant economic losses or even safety accidents, while excessive maintenance will significantly increase operating costs. In recent years, digital transformation centered on artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has provided a new methodology for fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance technology. Real-time sensing of equipment status through multi-source sensing data, combined with advanced technologies such as deep learning and digital twins, can accurately identify early failure characteristics, predict remaining service life, and dynamically optimize maintenance strategies. This technological paradigm innovation is driving industrial O&M from “reactive response” to “proactive defense”, becoming the core support for Industry 4.0 and smart maintenance.

This topic focuses on the cutting-edge theories of fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance, and aims to exchange the recent research results in this field.
