Abstract

:
Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a policy applying data and analytics to predict when one of the components in a real system has been destroyed, and some anomalies appear so that maintenance can be performed before a breakdown takes place. Using cutting-edge technologies like data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the performance and accuracy of predictive maintenance systems and increases their autonomy and adaptability in complex and dynamic working environments. This paper reviews the recent developments in AI-based PdM, focusing on key components, trustworthiness, and future trends. The state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques, challenges, and opportunities associated with AI-based PdM are first analyzed. The integration of AI technologies into PdM in real-world applications, the human–robot interaction, the ethical issues emerging from using AI, and the testing and validation abilities of the developed policies are later discussed. This study exhibits the potential working areas for future research, such as digital twin, metaverse, generative AI, collaborative robots (cobots), blockchain technology, trustworthy AI, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), utilizing a comprehensive survey of the current SOTA techniques, opportunities, and challenges allied with AI-based PdM.

1. Introduction

The maintenance of the systems has recently become increasingly important for enhancing product efficiency and continuity. Different varieties of system maintenance exist, such as reactive, planned, proactive, and predictive [1]. Figure 1 summarizes them. Reactive maintenance only solves the issue when the system breaks down or malfunctions. The malfunction becomes apparent, and then the repairing steps are applied. Planned maintenance is previously scheduled to perform regular inspections and maintenance tasks at predetermined intervals to prolong the system’s life and reduce repair costs, regardless of whether the system has shown failure signs. Predictive maintenance (PdM) is an approach applying advanced analytics on the obtained data from multiple sensors to predict when the system tends to fail and organize the maintenance tasks accordingly to optimize maintenance intervals, reduce malfunction time, and enhance the system’s reliability.
PdM has shown significant growth and advancements. Most recently, low-cost sensors have been developed, and new real-time condition monitoring systems have been successfully used to obtain big data. These developments, expert algorithms, and expert human experience brought considerable developments and progress in predictive maintenance. Current efforts are given to developing new multivariate statistical models and expert algorithms to improve predictions’ accuracy and reduce labor costs [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Reaching next-step autonomy in a robotics system is possible thanks to sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms, models, and expertise. Moreover, the potential AI-based PdM reduces costs and boosts efficiency and safety. Hence, the researchers pay special attention to AI models and techniques to improve the autonomy and adaptability of robotic systems in complex and dynamic industrial environments [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22].
AI has been successfully employed in the automotive, manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and transportation industries by making real-time predictions and estimations of malfunctions and anomalies on big datasets [23]. It has been demonstrated that AI-based techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, exhibit improved performance and accuracy at PdM utilizing remaining useful life (RUL), fault diagnosis, and predictive maintenance scheduling [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43]. Using AI brings some challenges, such as transparency, explainability, system integration, and ethical issues [44], leading to explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) [45]. Figure 2 shows the general AI cover. This paper aims to comprehensively survey the current state-of-the-art techniques, challenges, and opportunities exhibited by AI-based PdM, focusing on key components, trustworthiness, and future trends. The most recent outcomes and innovations in the field are discussed in this paper by suggesting directions for further investigation. Finally, it gives some insights into the most recent research and advancements in the subject and assists in suggesting prospective areas for future research by providing a thorough overview of the existing literature.

2. Key Components in AI-Based Predictive Maintenance

AI-based PdM can be fundamentally broken down into six distinct components: data preprocessing, AI algorithms, decision-making modules, communication and integration, and user interface and reporting, as shown in Figure 3. This section briefly discusses each component to understand how they work together to enable AI-based PdM.
  • Sensors: Sensors are the frontline data collectors in a PdM system. These specialized devices are strategically placed on equipment and machinery to continuously monitor various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and more. Sensor data provides real-time insights into equipment health and forms the foundation for predictive maintenance analysis.
  • Data Preprocessing: Raw data obtained from sensors often contains noise and inconsistencies. Data preprocessing is the initial step in preparing the data for analysis. It includes data cleaning, normalization, and missing data handling. High-quality data are essential for accurate PdM modeling.
  • AI Algorithms: AI algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning techniques, are the brain of the PdM systems. The algorithms analyze the data to identify the most important features relating to possible failures. They learn from historical data to predict equipment failures, anomalies, and RUL.
  • Decision-Making Modules: The insights and predictions generated by the AI algorithms are processed by decision-making modules. These modules are responsible for determining when maintenance actions are needed. They can recommend preventive or corrective maintenance tasks, schedule maintenance, and trigger alerts to maintenance teams when necessary.
  • Communication and Integration: Communication and integration ensure that the insights generated by the system are effectively translated into action. This component involves interactions with various stakeholders, including maintenance personnel and management. Furthermore, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP and asset management software aligns predictive maintenance with broader organizational goals.
  • User Interface and Reporting: To make these insights accessible to maintenance staff and decision makers, user interfaces and reporting tools are essential. The tools make it easier for users to understand complex data patterns and make informed decisions by providing data visualization, dashboard, and reporting capabilities. Data visualization tools and dashboards communicate data insights and forecast information to maintenance teams and decision makers. Visual aids help understand complex data patterns and make informed decisions.
The following three data-related units are added to the advanced AI methods to obtain resilient, reliable, secure, and highly stable results using AI-based PdM in complex and dynamic environments.
Sensor data and the Internet of Things (IoT) integration: Integrating IoT and sensor technology is pivotal in next-step autonomy for PdM tasks. The IoT sensors are strategically placed in equipment and machines to monitor their condition in real-time continuously.
Data integration: Data integration combines data from various sources, including historical maintenance records, real-time sensor data, external factors (e.g., weather), and production schedules. This holistic view of equipment health enhances decision making.
Digital twins: Digital twins create virtual replicas of physical assets, facilitating real-time simulation and monitoring. AI systems monitor these digital twins, identifying performance irregularities and recommending optimal maintenance strategies before any physical equipment is adversely affected.
Edge and cloud computing: Edge computing proceeds closer to the data source through IoT sensors for real-time analysis rather than in a centralized data center, which reduces latency and enables real-time analysis. Cloud computing stores and manages enormous amounts of data to analyze historical events.

3. State-of-the-Art Techniques for Predictive Maintenance

SOTA consists of (i) the AI-based PdM approaches, including machine learning algorithms, deep learning, statistical control, and statistical modeling, (ii) data-driven approaches, including big data analytics, data mining, data visualization, and predictive data analysis, (iii) vibration and thermal analysis, (iv) augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and their extended versions, and digital intelligent assistants, (v) methods based on prescriptive maintenance, (vi) edge and cloud computing, IoT, federated learning, and blockchain, (vii) energy-based methods, and (viii) methods based on prognostics and health management (PHM) [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131]. This section reviews some PdM studies using these approaches. Each paper has been evaluated through the application and the proposed approach.
PdM applications employ all AI approaches, including the classification and/or regression problem type of the supervised learning approach, the clustering problem type of the unsupervised learning approach, or a problem type relating to the reinforcement learning (RL) approach to analyze the large volume of data obtained from real-time condition monitoring systems. The approaches have presented magnificent contributions to PdM tasks [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52]. Deep neural networks (DNNs) covering CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs have been used to generate the proposed predictive maintenance strategies and algorithms and improve their prediction accuracy [53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64]. In these works, the networks have been applied to extract the significant features from raw sensor data, including images or the data in the form of time series, and to detect, recognize, or predict sudden and expected changes in the system according to the features.
Machine learning algorithms have been successfully applied to many PdM applications [65,66,67,68,69]. Algorithms such as feedforward neural networks (FNNs), decision trees (DT), random forests (RF), and support vector machines (SVMs) have been used to classify sensor data.
Refs. [70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84] have shown various works applying statistical and probabilistic modeling approaches such as hidden Markov models (HMMs), Bayesian networks (BNs), Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Density-based spatial clustering (DBSC), principal component analysis (PCA), and K-means to PdM tasks. Moreover, they introduced different DNN models, such as LSTM and autoencoders, for the tasks. They have identified the deterioration event by analyzing an interdependent relationship among the data collected from multi-sensors and predicted possible future failures.
In [85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,129], data-driven approaches, including big data analytics relating to data from various sources, including sensor data, historical records, external factors, and data mining, have been used to improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of PdM systems. Significantly, interactive and intuitive data visualization tools have contributed to quickly understanding the equipment’s health and making informed decisions.
In [93,94,95,96,97,98,99], vibration analysis is a widely used method of PdM. The analytical method uses sensors to measure the vibrations of machinery and identify possible problem areas, such as bearing failure or misalignment on various machines, including motors, pumps, and gearboxes.
Thermal imaging is another widely known technique for PdM [100,101,102,103,104]. The technique uses infrared cameras to perceive potential problems, such as overheating, breakdown, friction, and energy inefficiencies, on a wide range of equipment, including electrical panels, transformers, and motors, by measuring the temperature of equipment.
In [105,106,107,108], the technologies of AR, VR, MR, digital intelligent assistant, digital twin, and IoT sensors have been leveraged. The IoT sensor has enabled real-time data collection from various sensors attached to equipment in PdM. The technologies of AR, VR, and MR increase the capabilities of maintenance technicians with visual guidance, remote assistance, real-time information, and a virtual view of equipment status to perform PdM, improving efficiency and accuracy. Ref. [109] showed an approach for maintenance experts and operators to interact with a PdM system by AI intelligent assistant through natural language processing (NLP) and user feedback about the success of maintenance interventions.
In [110,111,112,113,114,115], PdM is realized through prescriptive maintenance. It provides specific recommendations for maintenance actions going beyond prediction. It includes detailed instructions for technicians on what steps to take. This approach predicts when maintenance is needed and recommends the most effective and efficient maintenance actions.
Refs. [116,117,118,130,131] have used edge computing and cloud computing. Edge computing is used to proceed closer to the data source through IoT sensors for real-time analysis rather than in a centralized data center, which reduces latency and enables real-time analysis. To analyze historical events, cloud computing stores and manages enormous amounts of data.
In [119,120,121], federated learning, blockchain, and industrial IoT have been used. Federated learning allows multiple parties to train a machine learning model collaboratively without sharing their data. Blockchain ensures data integrity, while industrial IoT sensors provide real-time equipment condition data. It may be indicative of problems if unusual energy consumption is observed. In [122,123,124,125], PdM has been provided by analyzing their energy consumption patterns to gain information on the health of such devices.
In [126,127], PdM has been carried out by focusing on PHM. PHM techniques take a different approach to assessing equipment health from predicting failures. Advanced modeling and data analysis are generally included in these methods, enabling further RUL estimation of an asset and providing valuable insight into maintenance planning. Ref. [128] shows an example of a predictive analytics software platform for PdM. In order to make implementing PdM easier, numerous software platforms and tools have been developed. Premade models and features for data integration are frequently included in these platforms.
This article reviews real-world simulation and experimental applications in tables, while some utilize benchmark datasets. Table 1 describes the benchmark datasets such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Turbofan [132,133], PHM 2008 [134], NASA Ames Milling [135], NASA Bearing Dataset [136], CWRU Bearing [137], FEMTO Ball Bearing [138], Roll Bearing [139], Backblaze [140], PAKDD2020 Alibaba AI OPS [141], NASA Ames Prognostics [142], Lithium-ion Battery of University of Maryland [143], MOSFET Thermal Overstress Aging [144], MAFAULDA [145], Microsoft Azure PdM [146], GEFCOM [147], and The UCI SECOM [148] in multivariate time-series forms commonly employed in PdM applications.
Table 2 shows a taxonomy for PdM applications in different problem types/approaches from various industries. The second column of Table 2 mainly indicates a class name relating to the repair and maintenance activities from [149]. Table 3 summarizes the study numbers in Table 2. As seen in Table 3, the electrical equipment class of the repair and maintenance field is the most popular in AI and maintenance, with 30 studies focused on this field. The machinery category is an essential topic with ten studies and attracts wide attention in this field. The classes of electronic and optical equipment and fabricated metal products attract attention with nine and eight studies, respectively.
The transport equipment category in Table 3 is noted as an essential field with six studies. The other machinery and equipment category is also notable with five works. On the other hand, the categories computers and communication equipment, industrial machinery and equipment, and buildings and other structures have a lower level of interest, with one study each, respectively. As a result, industries such as electrical equipment, machinery, electronic and optical equipment, and fabricated metal products are popular areas for AI and maintenance. On the other hand, computers and communication equipment, industrial machinery and equipment, and buildings and other structures categories have received more limited attention. These results are essential guidance for directing future research and development efforts.
On the other hand, manufacturing industries, including automotive, aircraft, semiconductor, machine tools, gearbox, pharmaceutical, electronics, steel, robotics, industrial robotics, air conditioning, and industrial robots, are the industry sectors receiving the most attention in AI and maintenance, with 22 studies. This wide-ranging industry shows a significant research focus as it includes a variety of subsectors.
The industries of ‘electrical and electronics’ and ‘electronics’ also have attracted attention with 13 studies. Technological advances and maintenance practices have been reflecting significant interest in this industry. The transport, automotive, high-speed railway, autonomous vehicles, railways, and rail transport industries represent an important research area with ten studies. The combination of subsectors such as automotive, high-speed rail, and autonomous vehicles shows a wide range of topics covering various aspects of this industry. The industries of ‘metals and plastics’ and ‘metal and metallurgy’ have five studies. The energy and sustainability, nuclear power, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and wind energy industry is also a prominent field with five studies and covers a wide range of topics related to energy sustainability.
Information technology, cloud services and data centers, electric vehicle battery technology, medical, medical devices and healthcare services, large service management, building and construction, hydraulics, and architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management industries are important industries represented with two studies. A limited number of studies represent infrastructure, pumping systems, marine, textile, logistics and parcel delivery, steel strip processing, chemical industry, aviation, and home energy management.
In addition, Table 3 also shows different PdM tasks and study numbers. RUL, cost, and charge estimation tasks have attracted attention with 11 studies. These tasks cover strategically essential issues such as estimating the useful life of equipment and determining maintenance costs. Fault detection tasks are a vital topic, with 12 studies focusing on the early detection and prevention of malfunctions that may occur in systems. The condition and vibration monitoring task has attracted the attention of nine studies. The anomaly detection task is a distinct area with four studies focusing on detecting unexpected situations and abnormal behavior. Other tasks are represented by only one study each and seem to concentrate on more specific topics. These tasks include product lifecycle management, component fatigue strength prediction, PdM by a digital intelligent assistant, blockchain framework for PdM, and a big data analytics framework. As a result, basic tasks such as failure prediction, RUL estimation, fault detection, and anomaly detection are popular areas of AI and maintenance. In contrast, other tasks are more specialized and focus on specific topics.
Although PdM tasks often appear to be primarily classification and regression problems in Table 3, the presence of unknown events and the general nature of the data with ambiguous labels clearly shows the importance of unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and statistical and probabilistic applications in PdM applications.
In addition, Table 2 includes some PdM tasks without using AI. Ref. [89] includes production quality prediction in the textile industry. Refs. [101,102,103] use thermal imaging technology in railways, medical, and hydraulics industries. Ref. [110] applies data management, predictive data analytic toolbox, recommender and decision support dashboard, and semantic-based learning and reasoning for PdM in the automotive manufacturing industry. Ref. [114] introduces the optimal maintenance strategy applying reliability analysis, sensitivity analysis, and a continuous stochastic process in the rail transport industry. Ref. [115] applies a discrete-event simulation framework for post-prognostic decisions in the aviation industry. Ref. [128] introduces a predictive analytics software platform in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, Ref. [91] includes quality management in the vinyl flooring industry using big data analytics and optimization and edge computing without having a PdM task, but it is related indirectly.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the number of studies carried out using different machine learning methods such as FNN, CNN, LSTM, autoencoder, SVM, RNN, fuzzy, RF, K-means, decision trees, rule-based intelligence system, DR, HMM, Bayes, ELM, and gradient boosting in Web of Science and Google Scholar for 2018 to 2023, respectively. Total study numbers in Web of Science and Google Scholar have been determined as (67, 104, 149, 213, 296, and 255) and (4406, 6506, 10,498, 16,638, 22,619, and 28,069) over 2018–2023, respectively. Both the results in Google Scholar and Web of Science clearly show that the fusion of PdM and AI will continue over the years. Since 2019, there has been a notable increase in the use of deep learning methods, specifically LSTM, CNN, and autoencoder, with a particularly pronounced surge in the utilization of DRL in the last two years. Additionally, SVM has maintained its relevance since 2018, and its usage has continued to grow. Another remarkable result has been observed in decision trees. The use of decision trees has shown a consistent upward trend since 2018. Notably, there has been a visible increase in the adoption of fuzzy and rule-based methods. Moreover, HMM, Bayes, gradient boosting, and FNN also exhibit a growing trend in usage since 2018. Even these escalating values in fundamental AI methods underscore the inevitability of AI becoming indispensable in future research endeavors. All the mentioned subjects show current relevance and an exponential increase has emerged, which signifies a robust and growing interest in these topics, indicating that AI will be indispensable in future studies. As a result, the figures exhibit an evolving landscape characterized by an increasing breadth of methods employed in PdM applications, suggesting a continuous effort by researchers to explore and integrate diverse machine learning methods, indicating the adaptability of the field and the ongoing quest for innovative approaches.
Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the number of studies carried out relating to four recent advances in PdM, including (PdM, digital twin, and AI), (PdM, IoT, and AI), (PdM, edge and cloud computing, and AI), and (PdM, AR, VR, MR, and AI) in Google Scholar and Web of Science, respectively. The total number of studies relating to the four technological combinations in Web of Science and Google Scholar has been determined as (2, 15, 24, 42, 50, and 40) and (1184, 2102, 3542, 5554, 7684, and 9867) over 2018–2023, respectively. The number of studies has a consistent annual increase. The observed growth proves a rising interest in incorporating advanced technologies into PdM applications and the shifts in the focus of researchers, reflecting evolving priorities in the field. In addition, the numbers indicate that (PdM, digital twin, and AI) and (PdM, IoT, and AI) have been gaining momentum since 2018 and that the use of (PdM, Edge and cloud computing, and AI) and (PdM, AR, VR, MR, and AI) has increased in the past three years and will increase in the future. As a result, the upward direction of the study numbers points to a positive inclination to integrate innovative techniques in PdM. Researchers are encouraged to explore the potential of digital twin, IoT, edge and cloud computing, AR, VR, MR, and AI for PdM applications.
Table 4 compares various AI methods. As observed, deep learning methods exhibit high accuracy and scalability. On the other hand, machine learning methods show higher cost-effectiveness in comparison. When comparing traditional methods with AI approaches, as in Table 5, AI methods outperform in stability and scalability. However, in terms of computational cost, traditional methods are more efficient.

4. Transparency and Explainability in AI-Based Predictive Maintenance

Model interpretability is critical to AI, as it allows us to gain insights into complex models’ black-box nature and build trustworthy models. Various techniques have emerged to show how these models make predictions and decisions. Ref. [150] exhibited two concepts titled explainability and interpretability used in the XAI area. If the model’s design is understandable to a human being, it is considered interpretable. On the contrary, explainability ties into the idea that explanation is a form of interaction between humans and decision makers. Explainability is regarded as a post hoc tool because this specification covers the techniques used to transform an uninterpretable model into an explainable one.
On the other hand, ref. [151] mentioned that if the models are inherently interpretable, they have their own explanations, which align with the model’s calculation. This implies that interpretability inherently includes explainability. In the interpretable model, each step of the decision-making process can be traced. Still, there remains a gap in explaining why this specific sequence of steps was chosen during the decision-making process. Explainable models are interpretable by default, but the reverse is not always true [152], indicating that explainability is a subset of interpretability. In explainable AI systems, it can be challenging to understand how the model reached a decision, but it can grasp the underlying reasoning behind it. XAI takes a broader approach, striving to design inherently transparent and interpretable models for humans.
The interpretability techniques are classified in different ways. One way is to separate them into two branches, post hoc and ad hoc, concerning the training process [153]. Post hoc techniques use external tools to analyze the trained models. The techniques rely on input perturbations. That is why they can provide unreliable results in cases like adversarial attacks, as in [154].
Moreover, they are not concerned about the model’s inner dynamics and the actions to generate different features. Ad hoc techniques modify the model’s inner dynamics to facilitate understanding, and the model comes with some explanations during the training itself. The post hoc techniques require feature analysis, model inspection, saliency maps, proxy models, mathematical analysis, physical analysis, and explanation by using text and case to extract the explanations. They are divided into “model agnostic” and “model specific”. Model-agnostic models also use any model covering neural networks.
On the other hand, model-specific techniques are developed as specific to the model. Some examples of post hoc techniques are local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) [155] and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) [156], class activation map (CAM) [157], layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP) [158], and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) [159]. Ad hoc methods include approaches to explaining the model in an explicitly understandable manner, using hand-crafted criteria for the selection of features or incorporating heuristics based on current physics [160,161].
Ref. [162] also classified the interpretation techniques as local and global. Local interpretability provides single predictions, whereas global predicting provides interpretation to make new predictions from model features. Local methods such as LIME and SHAP provide model-agnostic means to explain and interpret the predictions generated by a wide range of machine-learning models. Deep learning models, known for their complexity, benefit from techniques like Grad-CAM and attention mechanisms, which offer insights into the input regions that influence their decisions.
Some approaches to achieving model interpretability include techniques such as partial dependence plots (PDP) [163], decision tree visualization [163,164], attention module [165], and feature importance calculation by using methods such as wrapper, filter, embedded, and dimension reduction techniques [166]. PDPs represent a method of showing the relationship among one or several components and the expected outcomes of machine learning models. They give us an insight into how changes affect model predictions for a given feature. The structure of the decision tree, the observed features split, and the way the tree makes decisions based on the input features are displayed in the decision tree visualization.
On the other hand, the attention module contains a mechanism for generating feature weights consisting of parallel hidden layers. Each module part provides a value between 0 and 1, which shall be multiplied by the suitable feature to enter the rest of the network. The module can be visualized. Feature importance helps understand the features with the most weight in the model’s predictions. Wrapper methods are trained with various input features to obtain the best results using heuristic and sequential search algorithms, which is time consuming [167]. Filter methods employ statistical metrics such as the Pearson correlation coefficient, mutual information, and X2 test prior to training to identify the importance of features. The techniques are unrelated to the model or its predictions after training, and they have no interest in interactions between features [168]. Embedded methods work on the subsets of the data along with techniques such as random forest, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, ridge regression, regularization, decision tree, and XGBoost [169,170]. Dimension reduction techniques such as PCA, ICA (individual component analysis), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) reduce the dimensionality of the dataset to obtain a smaller set of principal components that explain most of the variance in the data [171].
In the literature, there are a lot of other methods, such as rule-based systems and sensitivity analysis. Rule-based systems utilize logical rules to describe the decision-making process of a model, making the decision logic explicit and understandable [172,173]. Lastly, sensitivity analysis helps identify the most influential input variables, contributing to a clearer understanding of a model’s predictive behavior. In an era where AI plays an increasingly prominent role, these interpretability techniques and methods are indispensable tools for building trust, improving model performance, and ensuring ethical and accountable AI systems.
Table 6 summarizes interpretable and explainable studies between 2018 and 2023 and their application content. In [174,175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183], SHAP, LIME, ELI5, integrated gradients, SmoothGrad, and LRP have been used. Refs. [184,185,186,187,188,189] use the semantic web rule language, rule-based expert systems, fuzzy systems, quantitative association rule mining (QARM), and data-driven sensitivity analysis. In [190,191,192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204], some techniques and visualizations such as decision trees, graph-based approaches, the attention modules used together with LSTM, generative adversarial networks (GAN), PDPs, and feature importance calculation methods. Refs. [205,206,207,208] give some new algorithms, including interpretability and explainability, such as temporal fusion separable convolutional network, federated learning, HMM, and reinforcement learning.
An extensive application range of PdM consists of a coal crusher operating at the boiler of the real power plant and gantries in a steelworks converter, a transport line in a steelworks converter, the MW load range in a petrochemical plant, a real hybrid bus, hydraulic systems, a modular aero-propulsion system, an intelligent manufacturing system, the water pumping industry, a large gas distribution network, rolling bearings and a rotating machine, PdM for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), a water injection pump, wind turbine systems, the IoT-based manufacturing environment, hard disk drives, the turbofan engine, the drilling machine of an automotive manufacturer, solar photovoltaic energy systems, maintenance work orders, manufacturing, and structural health monitoring.
Figure 8 and Figure 9 show numbers relating to PdM and explainable/interpretable AI in Web of Science and Google Scholar for 2018 to 2023, respectively. The total study numbers in Web of Science and Google Scholar are (6, 5, 9, 30, 34, and 18) and (2328, 3058, 4166, 5834, 7350, and 6540) over 2018–2023, respectively. All numbers show significant growth in using both PdM and explainable/interpretable AI over the specified time frame. The increasing number of studies presents a rising interest and emphasis on these subjects and methods. In addition, the numbers emphasize the importance of PdM and the need for AI systems that are transparent and interpretable. The numbers support that using PdM and explainable/interpretable AI will continue to expand and generate a broader shift in the research focus on these areas.

5. Challenges and Limitations of Using AI for PdM Autonomy

Several problems and limitations that need to be overcome to realize AI’s potential benefits are posed by its use for PdM autonomy. Some key challenges and limitations are (i) transparency and explainability, (ii) integration with existing systems and workflows, (iii) data quality and quantity, (iv) the lack of real-world data, (v) the lack of standard evaluation metrics, (vi) ethical considerations, and (vii) effective human–machine interaction.
Transparency and explainability could make understanding and believing the decisions adopted in this system difficult for human operators, leading to mistrust and lack of acceptance among users. All developments about transparency and explainability are given in Section 4. More development should be undertaken to gain the trust of human operators in PdM applications.
The seamless integration into existing systems and workflows requires specialized software and expertise. Moreover, the different types of data formats, communication methods, and protocols create difficulties in integrating AI systems into current systems. There are some approaches for the seamless integration of AI-based PdM systems into current systems and workflows [209,210,211,212,213,214,215,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,224]. In [209,210,211,212,213,214,215,216,217,218,219,220,221], a modular design has been applied. The design allows the AI-based system to be flexibly integrated with existing systems and workflows and adaptable using standard interfaces and protocols, such as Modbus, Snap7, and OPC-UA, to communicate with existing systems and develop APIs. Refs. [223,224] has leveraged a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for integration. Web services, such as RESTful APIs, to access the AI-based system and message-oriented middleware, such as MQTT, to communicate with existing systems have been applied. Additionally, some researchers have proposed using edge computing and fog computing to integrate AI-based PdM systems into existing systems [219,220,221,222].
Data quality and quantity are crucial for training and validating AI-based PdM models. High-quality data provides accurate predictions. In contrast, the time and costs of gathering and cleaning data may be considerable. In addition, it is essential to have large amounts of data for learning deep learning models, and in certain cases, they may be challenging to obtain [85,86,129,192,210]. AI-based PdM systems should be tested and validated under various conditions, such as different types of equipment, different operating conditions, and different levels of data quality for successful real-world applications. The lack of real-world data makes it difficult to test the system under realistic conditions and to evaluate its performance and accuracy. Researchers have proposed various methods for simulating real-world scenarios to overcome this challenge, such as using virtual environments and testbeds [26,35,37,42,96,109,210,225,226,227,228,229,230,231].
The lack of standard evaluation metrics is another challenge in testing and validating AI-based PdM systems. The shortcoming makes comparing different systems’ performance and evaluating their accuracy and reliability difficult. Researchers have proposed various evaluation metrics to overcome this challenge, such as prediction accuracy, mean squared error, and precision and recall [24,232].
Ethical considerations are essential for AI-based PdM systems to ensure they are robust, reliable, and secure. Additionally, ethical considerations are associated with using AI-based PdM systems, such as transparency and explainability, trust and acceptance among users, integrating AI-based systems with existing systems and workflows, testing, validating, and data privacy and security [221,233,234].
Human–machine interaction is an essential aspect of AI-based PdM as it involves the interaction between human operators and autonomous systems. The goal of human–machine interaction in PdM is to enable human operators to monitor, control, and interact with autonomous systems safely, efficiently, and effectively. One of the critical challenges in HRI for AI-based PdM is the development of intuitive and user-friendly interfaces [235,236]. Researchers have proposed various methods for designing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces to overcome these challenges, such as virtual and augmented reality gestures and NLP [11,19,21,26,48,50,105,106,108,230]. Another challenge in HRI for AI-based PdM is the development of trust and acceptance among human operators. Generally, ML models, especially deep learning models, provide decisions that are too complicated for humans to understand, reducing people’s trust in their predictions. That is why developing simplified and interpretable models is vital [182]. Recent works have proposed to use NLP and, its more powerful version, generative AI, including large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, PaLM, and Llama [237,238,239,240], to predict component failure or service requirements and to analyze historical log data that include equipment performance, environmental conditions, and maintenance schedules [241,242,243,244,245]. Ref. [246] has used NLP, dimension reduction, and clustering techniques for the PdM of an aircraft by using previous reports. A human collaboration with ChatGPT has applied PdM for mobile firefighter turnout gear cleaning in [247]. Ref. [248] has applied GPT and RL to control an HVAC system. Ref. [249] has proposed to leverage ChatGPT in different areas of supply chain management, such as route optimization, predictive maintenance, and order shipment. Ref. [250] has proposed a new language model for network traffic, including PdM in telecommunication. Critical AI training, testing, and diligence methods for PdM in automotive projects have been introduced in [251]. In [252], LLMs have been investigated for the failure mode classification task, an essential maintenance step. The works in [241,242,243,244,245,246,247,248,249,250,251,252] have shown that NLP and LLMs have increased predictive maintenance efficiency and accuracy since they can be constantly updated with real-time equipment data, enabling them to learn the patterns associated with healthy operational functioning.
