Big data for predictive maintenance
Lead Research Organisation:
Cranfield University
Department Name: Sch of Aerospace, Transport & Manufact
Abstract
Provide the state of art regarding tools and techniques used for big data and predictive maintenance.
Implement and validate models for feature extraction and fault detection and isolation or diagnostics.
Implement and validate models for fault prognostics.
Design, implement and validate the framework
Stage 1: Establish base lines and literature review. Examine common practices, and discoveries in the field related to techniques and process, and common tools and infrastructures used. Risk assessment.
Stage 2: Identify research gap, and review aims. Data collection, establish requirements for the framework requirement. Data cleaning and preparation, data management plan.
Stage 3: Using a condition based maintenance process, begin data analysis. Feature extraction; fault detection and isolation; diagnosis and prognostics using novel "big data" tools and knowledge discovery techniques.
Stage 4: Results visualisation; framework implemented and validated.
The work aims at a novel approach to time series analysis for system and machine faults, integrating physics, engineering know-how and discovered data patterns. The work has been trialled on train engine performance behaviour, door response, and wheel slip, seeking early and robust detection, diagnosis and prognosis.

Description | -Models have been build for predictive maintenance with application to railways train equipment. -Fault types have been found in the data using the designed models |
Exploitation Route | - Models built may be useful for detecting incipient fault or anomalies in streaming datasets. Therefore, it can be applied to many cross disciplinary dealing with anomalies, and surprising pattern detection |
Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Financial Services, and Management Consultancy,Healthcare,Transport,Other |
Description | The current findings are used to detect earlier degradation in trains assets such as passengers doors, train engines and wheel set to improve the passengers journey and reduce unplanned maintenance costs. |

Title | Doors datasets |
Description | Data represents urban train condition monitoring raw data. Data contains, current and door motions during opening and closing periods. |
Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
Year Produced | 2020 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | Doors datasets present current and and speed profiles for train doors. Doors present normal and faulty conditions which can be served as basis for other researchers to device methods for fault detection. |
