Abstract

Rotating parts can be found in almost all operational equipment in the industry and are of great importance for proper operation. However, reliability theory explains that every industrial system can change its state when failure happens. Predictive maintenance as one of the latest maintenance strategy emerged from the Maintenance 4.0 concept. Nowadays, this concept can include Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices to connect industrial assets thus enable data collection and analysis that can help make better decisions about maintenance activity. Robust data acquisition system is a prerequisite for any modern predictive maintenance task as it provides necessary data for further analysis and health assessment of the industry asset. Fault diagnosis is an important task in the maintenance of industrial rotating subsystems, considering that early state change diagnosis and fault identification can prevent system failure. Vibration analysis in theory and practice is considered a correct technique for early detection of state changes and failure diagnostics of rotating subsystems. The identified technical state should be considered in a context of the ability and different inability states. Therefore, early different inability states identification is the next step in the rotary machinery diagnostics procedure. Most of the existing techniques for fault diagnosis of rotating subsystems that use vibrations involve the step of extracting features from the raw signal. Considering that the features that describe the behavior of the rotary subsystem can differ significantly depending on the type of equipment, such an approach usually requires an expert in the field of signal processing and rotary subsystems who can define the necessary features. Recently, the emergence of machine deep learning and its application in maintenance promises to provide highly efficient fault diagnostics while simultaneously reducing the need for expert knowledge and human labour. This paper presents authors aim to use self-developed IIoT system built as an IIoT accelerometer as the edge device, web API and database with convolutional neural network as deep learning-based data-driven fault diagnosis to detect and identify different inability states of rotating subsystems. Large dataset for two different rotational speed is collected using IIOT system and multiple convolutional neural network models are trained and tested to examine possibility of using IIOT for inability state prediction.
