Predictive Maintenance for Machines

Sensor data + ML model predicting equipment failure risk.

Case Study

Problem Statement

Unplanned machine breakdowns cause costly downtime in manufacturing; most plants still rely on scheduled (time-based) maintenance instead of condition-based maintenance.

Our Solution

Using vibration, temperature, and runtime-hour data (real or simulated dataset), a machine learning model predicts the probability of failure within a given window, so maintenance can be scheduled proactively.

Features

  • Sensor data preprocessing and feature engineering
  • ML model (Random Forest / XGBoost) trained on failure-labeled data
  • Live dashboard showing current risk score per machine
  • Alert threshold configuration
  • Model evaluation report (precision/recall, confusion matrix)

FAQ

Is real sensor data required?

No — a well-documented public dataset is used, and we explain how to plug in your own sensor readings if you have access to hardware.
