Presentation
Evolution of Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance has made enormous progress over the past several decades. General Electric (GE), in the 1980s, had a tool called GEN-X that was an expert system shell. It was used for troubleshooting and predictive maintenance for jet engines as well as GE consumer appliances. These expert systems incorporated domain-specific knowledge from existing troubleshooting manuals and enhanced by factory engineers with a background in engine performance analysis. Symbolic artificial intelligence, also known as expert systems, dominated diagnostic and predictive maintenance in that era. These expert systems were the precursor to condition-based maintenance that evolved to predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance today uses machine learning to do a classification or regression approach to maintenance issues. This presentation will explore the evolution of predictive maintenance and how we can apply what we have learned to future applications in predictive maintenance.
