Predictive Analytics and Fault Diagnosis of Machines with Machine Learning Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic focuses on cutting-edge topics in the industrial sector, exploring how predictive analytics and machine fault diagnosis can enhance production efficiency and equipment reliability. With the emergence of Industry 4.0, data-driven decision-making and innovative maintenance strategies have become the cornerstone of the industry. This Topic delves into the methods of employing data analysis, predictive modelling, and machine learning techniques to achieve machine health monitoring and early fault diagnosis, ultimately reducing maintenance costs, minimizing production interruptions, and enhancing equipment reliability. We pay particular attention to critical components in rotating machinery, such as bearings, which play a pivotal role in industrial manufacturing. Through state monitoring and fault diagnosis, alongside emerging technologies like deep learning, we accurately diagnose machine conditions and proactively engage in predictive maintenance. This Topic is designed to foster collaboration between industry and academia, driving innovation in methods and applications to meet the demands of modern industrial production. We eagerly anticipate research findings in this critical field, which will provide the industry with more efficient and reliable production methods.
