Consequently, quantitative risk assessment (QRA) and predictive maintenance (PdM) are essential to effectively manage coking risks influenced by multiple factors. However, the inherent uncertainties of the coking process, combined with the mixed-frequency nature of distributed control systems (DCS) and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) data, present significant challenges for the application of data-driven methods and their practical implementation in industrial environments. This study proposes a hierarchical framework that integrates deep learning and fuzzy logic inference, leveraging data and domain knowledge to monitor the coking condition and inform prescriptive maintenance planning. The framework proposes the multi-layer fuzzy inference system to construct the coking risk index, utilizes multi-label methods to select the optimal feature dataset across the reactor-regenerator and fractionation system using coking risk factors as label space, and designs the parallel encoder-integrated decoder architecture to address mixed-frequency data disparities and enhance adaptation capabilities through extracting the operation state and physical properties information. Additionally, triple attention mechanisms, whether in parallel or temporal modules, adaptively aggregate input information and enhance intrinsic interpretability to support the disposal decision-making. Applied in the 2.8 million tons FCCU under long-period complex operating conditions, enabling precise coking risk management at the fractionating tower bottom.展开更多

It is inevitable that when one aspect leads and other trails behind, they coexist in life, as is often the case. The trailing aspect cannot remain far behind because, without application and use, there would be a dead end. Everything, whether an object, software, or tool, must have a practical use for humans. Without this, it will become obsolete. We can see this in many instances, such as blockchain technology, which is superior yet faces challenges in practical implementation, leading to a decline in adoption. This publication aims to bridge the gap between AI advancements and maintenance, specifically focusing on making predictive maintenance a practical application. There are multiple building blocks that make predictive maintenance a practical application. Each block performs a function leading to an output. This output forms an input to the receiving block. There are also foundational parts for all these building blocks to perform a function. Eventually, once the building blocks are connected, they form a loop and start to lead the path to predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance is indeed practically achievable, but one must comprehend all the building blocks necessary for its implementation. Although detailed explanations will be provided in the upcoming sections, it is important to understand that simply purchasing software and plugging it in might be a far-fetched approach.展开更多

I...The reliability-based maintenance optimization model has been focused by the engineers and scholars but it has never been solved effectively to formulate the effect of a maintenance action on the optimization model. In existing works, the system reliability was assumed to be increased to 1 after a predictive maintenance. However, it is very difficult in the most practical systems. Therefore, a new reliability-based maintenance optimization model under imperfect predictive maintenance (PM) is proposed in this paper. In the model, the system reliability is only restored to R i (0<R i <1, i∈N, N is natural number set) after the ith PM. The system uptimes and the corresponding probability in two cases whether there is an unexpected fault in one cycle are derived respectively and the system expected uptime model is given. To formulate the system expected downtime, the probability of each imperfect PM number in one cycle is calculated. Then, the system expected total time model is obtained. The total expected long-term operation cost is composed of the expected maintenance cost, the expected loss due to the downtime and the expected additional cost due to the occurrence of an unexpected failure. They are modeled respectively in this work. Jointing the system expected total time and long-term operation cost in one cycle, the expected long-term operation cost per time could be computed. Then, the proposed maintenance optimization model is formulated where the objective function is to minimize the expected long-term operation cost per time. The results of numerical example show that the proposed model could scheme the optimal maintenance actions for the considered system when the required parameters are given and the optimal solution of the proposed model is sensitive to the parameters of effective age model and insensitive to other parameters. The proposed model effectively solves the problem of evaluating the effect of an imperfect PM on the system reliability and presents a more practical optimization method for the reliability-based maintenance strategy than the existing works.展开更多

文摘Modern industrial environments require uninterrupted machinery operation to maintain productivity standards while ensuring safety and minimizing costs.Conventional maintenance methods,such as reactive maintenance(i.e.,run to failure)or time-based preventive maintenance(i.e.,scheduled servicing),prove ineffective for complex systems with many Internet of Things(IoT)devices and sensors because they fall short in detecting faults at early stages when it is most crucial.This paper presents a predictive maintenance framework based on a hybrid deep learning model that integrates the capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs).The framework integrates spatial feature extraction and temporal sequence modeling to accurately classify the health state of industrial equipment into three categories,including Normal,Require Maintenance,and Failed.The framework uses a modular pipeline that includes IoT-enabled data collection along with secure transmission methods to manage cloud storage and provide real-time fault classification.The FD004 subset of the NASA C-MAPSS dataset,containing multivariate sensor readings from aircraft engines,serves as the training and evaluation data for the model.Experimental results show that the LSTM-CNN model outperforms baseline models such as LSTM-SVM and LSTM-RNN,achieving an overall average accuracy of 86.66%,precision of 86.00%,recall of 86.33%,and F1-score of 86.33%.Contrary to the previous LSTM-CNN-based predictive maintenance models that either provide a binary classification or rely on synthetically balanced data,our paper provides a three-class maintenance state(i.e.,Normal,Require Maintenance,and Failed)along with threshold-based labeling that retains the true nature of the degradation.In addition,our work also provides an IoT-to-cloud-based modular architecture for deployment.It offers Computerized Maintenance Management System(CMMS)integration,making our proposed solution not only technically sound but also practical and innovative.The solution achieves real-world industrial deployment readiness through its reliable performance alongside its scalable system design.

文摘The fractionating tower bottom in fluid catalytic cracking Unit (FCCU) is highly susceptible to coking due to the interplay of complex external operating conditions and internal physical properties. Consequently, quantitative risk assessment (QRA) and predictive maintenance (PdM) are essential to effectively manage coking risks influenced by multiple factors. However, the inherent uncertainties of the coking process, combined with the mixed-frequency nature of distributed control systems (DCS) and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) data, present significant challenges for the application of data-driven methods and their practical implementation in industrial environments. This study proposes a hierarchical framework that integrates deep learning and fuzzy logic inference, leveraging data and domain knowledge to monitor the coking condition and inform prescriptive maintenance planning. The framework proposes the multi-layer fuzzy inference system to construct the coking risk index, utilizes multi-label methods to select the optimal feature dataset across the reactor-regenerator and fractionation system using coking risk factors as label space, and designs the parallel encoder-integrated decoder architecture to address mixed-frequency data disparities and enhance adaptation capabilities through extracting the operation state and physical properties information.

文摘Predictive maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing equipment failures and minimizing operational downtime in modern industries.However,traditional predictive maintenance methods often face challenges in adapting to diverse industrial environments and ensuring the transparency and fairness of their predictions.This paper presents a novel predictive maintenance framework that integrates deep learning and optimization techniques while addressing key ethical considerations,such as transparency,fairness,and explainability,in artificial intelligence driven decision-making.The framework employs an Autoencoder for feature reduction,a Convolutional Neural Network for pattern recognition,and a Long Short-Term Memory network for temporal analysis.To enhance transparency,the decision-making process of the framework is made interpretable,allowing stakeholders to understand and trust the model’s predictions.Additionally,Particle Swarm Optimization is used to refine hyperparameters for optimal performance and mitigate potential biases in the model.Experiments are conducted on multiple datasets from different industrial scenarios,with performance validated using accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,and training time metrics.The results demonstrate an impressive accuracy of up to 99.92%and 99.45%across different datasets,highlighting the framework’s effectiveness in enhancing predictive maintenance strategies.Furthermore,the model’s explainability ensures that the decisions can be audited for fairness and accountability,aligning with ethical standards for critical systems.By addressing transparency and reducing potential biases,this framework contributes to the responsible and trustworthy deployment of artificial intelligence in industrial environments,particularly in safety-critical applications.The results underscore its potential for wide application across various industrial contexts,enhancing both performance and ethical decision-making.
文摘While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading the way in terms of hardware advancements, such as GPUs, memory, and processing power, real-time applications are still catching up. It is inevitable that when one aspect leads and other trails behind, they coexist in life, as is often the case. The trailing aspect cannot remain far behind because, without application and use, there would be a dead end. Everything, whether an object, software, or tool, must have a practical use for humans. Without this, it will become obsolete. We can see this in many instances, such as blockchain technology, which is superior yet faces challenges in practical implementation, leading to a decline in adoption. This publication aims to bridge the gap between AI advancements and maintenance, specifically focusing on making predictive maintenance a practical application. There are multiple building blocks that make predictive maintenance a practical application. Each block performs a function leading to an output. This output forms an input to the receiving block. There are also foundational parts for all these building blocks to perform a function. Eventually, once the building blocks are connected, they form a loop and start to lead the path to predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance is indeed practically achievable, but one must comprehend all the building blocks necessary for its implementation. Although detailed explanations will be provided in the upcoming sections, it is important to understand that simply purchasing software and plugging it in might be a far-fetched approach.
文摘Ever since the research in machine learning gained traction in recent years,it has been employed to address challenges in a wide variety of domains,including mechanical devices.Most of the machine learning models are built on the assumption of a static learning environment,but in practical situations,the data generated by the process is dynamic.This evolution of the data is termed concept drift.This research paper presents an approach for predictingmechanical failure in real-time using incremental learning based on the statistically calculated parameters of mechanical equipment.The method proposed here is applicable to allmechanical devices that are susceptible to failure or operational degradation.The proposed method in this paper is equipped with the capacity to detect the drift in data generation and adaptation.The proposed approach evaluates the machine learning and deep learning models for their efficacy in handling the errors related to industrial machines due to their dynamic nature.It is observed that,in the settings without concept drift in the data,methods like SVM and Random Forest performed better compared to deep neural networks.However,this resulted in poor sensitivity for the smallest drift in the machine data reported as a drift.In this perspective,DNN generated the stable drift detection method;it reported an accuracy of 84%and an AUC of 0.87 while detecting only a single drift point,indicating the stability to performbetter in detecting and adapting to new data in the drifting environments under industrial measurement settings.

文摘Addressing the limitations of inadequate stochastic disturbance characterization during wind turbine degradation processes that result in constrained modeling accuracy,replacement-based maintenance practices that deviate from actual operational conditions,and static maintenance strategies that fail to adapt to accelerated deterioration trends leading to suboptimal remaining useful life utilization,this study proposes a Time-Based Incomplete Maintenance(TBIM)strategy incorporating reliability constraints through stochastic differential equations(SDE).By quantifying stochastic interference via Brownian motion terms and characterizing nonlinear degradation features through state influence rate functions,a high-precision SDE degradation model is constructed,achieving 16%residual reduction compared to conventional ordinary differential equation(ODE)methods.The introduction of age reduction factors and failure rate growth factors establishes an incomplete maintenance mechanism that transcends traditional“as-good-as-new”assumptions,with the TBIM model demonstrating an additional 8.5%residual reduction relative to baseline SDE approaches.A dynamic maintenance interval optimization model driven by dual parameters—preventive maintenance threshold R_(p) and replacement threshold R_(r)—is designed to achieve synergistic optimization of equipment reliability and maintenance economics.Experimental validation demonstrates that the optimized TBIM extends equipment lifespan by 4.4%and reducesmaintenance costs by 4.16%at R_(p)=0.80,while achieving 17.2%lifespan enhancement and 14.6%cost reduction at R_(p)=0.90.This methodology provides a solution for wind turbine preventive maintenance that integrates condition sensitivity with strategic foresight.
文摘The objective of the current study is to investigate an adaptive predictive observer-based autopilot for a skid-to-turn(STT)missile model with uncertainties and unknown dynamic equations.A predictive control for the STT missile is designed based on nonlinear model predictive control(NMPC)using Taylor series expansion,after which,via a neural network(NN),unknown functions are approximated.The present study also evaluates an adaptive optimal observer of a new strategy-based nonlinear system.Specifically,to estimate the missile states such as normal acceleration and its derivatives for the future,originally the Taylor series states expansion was gained to any specified order,based on their receding horizons.To address the problem of prediction error,an analytic solution was prepared that led to a closed form regarding the nonlinear optimal observer.Out of the gains resulting from the analytic solution,as developed for the problem of prediction error,the selection of the proposed observer gain was optimally conducted to meet the stability condition.Thus,combining the adaptive predictive autopilot and the adaptive optimal observer scheme was implemented to secure the performance,which needed only estimated normal acceleration and its derivatives.Meanwhile,no angular velocity measurement or wind angle estimation was required.Ultimately,the proposed technique was found effective,as confirmed by the qualitative simulation results.

文摘Northeast China serves as an important crop production region.Accurately forecasting summer precipitation in Northeast China(NEC-PR)has been a challenge due to its wide range of time scales influenced by varying climatic conditions.This study presents a scale separation hybrid statistical model with recurrent neural network(SS-RNN)to predict the summer monthly NEC-PR.The SS-RNN model decomposes the multiple scales of the NEC-PR into several spatiotemporal intrinsic mode functions covering annual to decadal time scales.This strategy provides a way to derive appropriate predictors and establish predictive models for the primary spatial modes of the NEC-PR at various time scales.Our results demonstrate substantial improvements by the SS-RNN model in predicting the summer monthly NEC-PR as compared with dynamic models,particularly in predicting the spatial pattern of the NEC-PR.In this paper we take August,the month of the highest NEC-PR,to assess our model skill.Independent forecasts of the August NEC-PR over the period 2021–24 achieve significant spatial anomaly correlation coefficients,reaching a maximum value of 0.83.Additional verifications by station observations show that the model hits most station anomalies,achieving a mean predictive skill score of 90.

文摘To investigate the influence of coarse aggregate parent rock properties on the elastic modulus of concrete,the mineralogical properties and stress-strain curves of granite and dolomite parent rocks,as well as the strength and elastic modulus of mortar and concrete prepared with mechanism aggregates of the corresponding lithology,and the stress-strain curves of concrete were investigated.In this paper,a coarse aggregate and mortar matrix bonding assumption is proposed,and a prediction model for the elastic modulus of mortar is established by considering the lithology of the mechanism sand and the slurry components.An equivalent coarse aggregate elastic modulus model was established by considering factors such as coarse aggregate particle size,volume fraction,and mortar thickness between coarse aggregates.Based on the elastic modulus of the equivalent coarse aggregate and the remaining mortar,a prediction model for the elastic modulus of the two and three components of concrete in series and then in parallel was established,and the predicted values differed from the measured values within 10%.It is proposed that the coarse aggregate elastic modulus in highstrength concrete is the most critical factor affecting the elastic modulus of concrete,and as the coarse aggregate elastic modulus increases by 27.7%,the concrete elastic modulus increases by 19.5%.

文摘With the increasing complexity of industrial automation,planetary gearboxes play a vital role in largescale equipment transmission systems,directly impacting operational efficiency and safety.Traditional maintenance strategies often struggle to accurately predict the degradation process of equipment,leading to excessive maintenance costs or potential failure risks.However,existing prediction methods based on statistical models are difficult to adapt to nonlinear degradation processes.To address these challenges,this study proposes a novel condition-based maintenance framework for planetary gearboxes.A comprehensive full-lifecycle degradation experiment was conducted to collect raw vibration signals,which were then processed using a temporal convolutional network autoencoder with multi-scale perception capability to extract deep temporal degradation features,enabling the collaborative extraction of longperiod meshing frequencies and short-term impact features from the vibration signals.Kernel principal component analysis was employed to fuse and normalize these features,enhancing the characterization of degradation progression.A nonlinear Wiener process was used to model the degradation trajectory,with a threshold decay function introduced to dynamically adjust maintenance strategies,and model parameters optimized through maximum likelihood estimation.Meanwhile,the maintenance strategy was optimized to minimize costs per unit time,determining the optimal maintenance timing and preventive maintenance threshold.The comprehensive indicator of degradation trends extracted by this method reaches 0.756,which is 41.2%higher than that of traditional time-domain features;the dynamic threshold strategy reduces the maintenance cost per unit time to 55.56,which is 8.9%better than that of the static threshold optimization.Experimental results demonstrate significant reductions in maintenance costs while enhancing system reliability and safety.This study realizes the organic integration of deep learning and reliability theory in the maintenance of planetary gearboxes,provides an interpretable solution for the predictive maintenance of complex mechanical systems,and promotes the development of condition-based maintenance strategies for planetary gearboxes.

文摘The contemporary era is characterized by rapid technological advancements,particularly in the fields of communication and multimedia.Digital media has significantly influenced the daily lives of individuals of all ages.One of the emerging domains in digital media is the creation of cartoons and animated videos.The accessibility of the internet has led to a surge in the consumption of cartoons among young children,presenting challenges in monitoring and controlling the content they view.The prevalence of cartoon videos containing potentially violent scenes has raised concerns regarding their impact,especially on young and impressionableminds.This article contributes to the growing concerns about the impact of animated media on children’s mental health and offers solutions to help mitigate these effects.To address this issue,an intelligent,multi-CNN fusion framework is proposed for detecting and predicting violent content in upcoming frames of animated videos.The framework integrates probabilistic and deep learning methodologies by leveraging a combination of visual and temporal features for violence prediction in future scenes.Two specific convolutional neural network classifiers i.e.,VGG16 and ResNet18 are employed to classify scenes from animated content as violent or non-violent.To enhance decision robustness,this study introduces a fusion strategy based on weighted averaging,combining the outputs of both Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)into a single decision stream.The resulting classifications are subsequently fed into Naive Bayes classifier,which analyzes sequential patterns to forecast violence in future scenes.The experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed framework achieved predictive accuracy of 92.84%,highlighting its effectiveness for intelligent content moderation.These results underscore the potential of intelligent data fusion techniques in enhancing the reliability and robustness of automated violence detection systems in animated content.This framework offers a promising solution for safeguarding young audiences by enabling proactive and accurate moderation of animated videos.

文摘The evolution of cities into digitally managed environments requires computational systems that can operate in real time while supporting predictive and adaptive infrastructure management.Earlier approaches have often advanced one dimension—such as Internet of Things(IoT)-based data acquisition,Artificial Intelligence(AI)-driven analytics,or digital twin visualization—without fully integrating these strands into a single operational loop.As a result,many existing solutions encounter bottlenecks in responsiveness,interoperability,and scalability,while also leaving concerns about data privacy unresolved.This research introduces a hybrid AI–IoT–Digital Twin framework that combines continuous sensing,distributed intelligence,and simulation-based decision support.The design incorporates multi-source sensor data,lightweight edge inference through Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)and Long ShortTerm Memory(LSTM)models,and federated learning enhanced with secure aggregation and differential privacy to maintain confidentiality.A digital twin layer extends these capabilities by simulating city assets such as traffic flows and water networks,generating what-if scenarios,and issuing actionable control signals.Complementary modules,including model compression and synchronization protocols,are embedded to ensure reliability in bandwidth-constrained and heterogeneous urban environments.The framework is validated in two urban domains:traffic management,where it adapts signal cycles based on real-time congestion patterns,and pipeline monitoring,where it anticipates leaks through pressure and vibration data.Experimental results show a 28%reduction in response time,a 35%decrease in maintenance costs,and a marked reduction in false positives relative to conventional baselines.The architecture also demonstrates stability across 50+edge devices under federated training and resilience to uneven node participation.The proposed system provides a scalable and privacy-aware foundation for predictive urban infrastructure management.By closing the loop between sensing,learning,and control,it reduces operator dependence,enhances resource efficiency,and supports transparent governance models for emerging smart cities.

文摘The vast potential of system health monitoring and condition based maintenance on modern commercial aircraft is being realized through the innovative use of Airplane Condition Monitoring System(ACMS) data.However there are few methods addressing the issues of failure prognostics and predictive maintenance for commercial aircraft Air Conditioning System(ACS).This study developed a Bayesian failure prognostics approach using ACMS data for predictive maintenance of ACS.First, a health index characterizing the ACS health state is inferred from a multiple sensor signals using a data driven method.Then a dynamic linear model is proposed to describe the degradation process for failure prognostics.Bayesian inference formulas are carried out for degradation estimation and prediction.The developed approach is applied on a passenger aircraft fleet with ACMS data recorded for one year.The analysis of the case study shows that the developed method can produce satisfactory prognostics results, where all the ACS failure precursors are identified in advance, and the relative errors for the failure time prediction made when just entering the degradation warning stage are less than 8%.This would allow operators to proactively plan future maintenance.

文摘The reliability-based maintenance optimization model has been focused by the engineers and scholars but it has never been solved effectively to formulate the effect of a maintenance action on the optimization model. In existing works, the system reliability was assumed to be increased to 1 after a predictive maintenance. However, it is very difficult in the most practical systems. Therefore, a new reliability-based maintenance optimization model under imperfect predictive maintenance (PM) is proposed in this paper. In the model, the system reliability is only restored to R i (0<R i <1, i∈N, N is natural number set) after the ith PM. The system uptimes and the corresponding probability in two cases whether there is an unexpected fault in one cycle are derived respectively and the system expected uptime model is given. To formulate the system expected downtime, the probability of each imperfect PM number in one cycle is calculated. Then, the system expected total time model is obtained. The total expected long-term operation cost is composed of the expected maintenance cost, the expected loss due to the downtime and the expected additional cost due to the occurrence of an unexpected failure. They are modeled respectively in this work. Jointing the system expected total time and long-term operation cost in one cycle, the expected long-term operation cost per time could be computed. Then, the proposed maintenance optimization model is formulated where the objective function is to minimize the expected long-term operation cost per time. The results of numerical example show that the proposed model could scheme the optimal maintenance actions for the considered system when the required parameters are given and the optimal solution of the proposed model is sensitive to the parameters of effective age model and insensitive to other parameters. The proposed model effectively solves the problem of evaluating the effect of an imperfect PM on the system reliability and presents a more practical optimization method for the reliability-based maintenance strategy than the existing works.

文摘Remaining useful life(RUL)prediction is an advanced technique for system maintenance scheduling.Most of existing RUL prediction methods are only interested in the precision of RUL estimation;the adverse impact of overestimated RUL on maintenance scheduling is not of concern.In this work,an RUL estimation method with risk-averse adaptation is developed which can reduce the over-estimation rate while maintaining a reasonable under-estimation level.The proposed method includes a module of degradation feature selection to obtain crucial features which reflect system degradation trends.Then,the latent structure between the degradation features and the RUL labels is modeled by a support vector regression(SVR)model and a long short-term memory(LSTM)network,respectively.To enhance the prediction robustness and increase its marginal utility,the SVR model and the LSTM model are integrated to generate a hybrid model via three connection parameters.By designing a cost function with penalty mechanism,the three parameters are determined using a modified grey wolf optimization algorithm.In addition,a cost metric is proposed to measure the benefit of such a risk-averse predictive maintenance method.Verification is done using an aero-engine data set from NASA.The results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed RUL estimation method and the predictive maintenance strategy.
