Abstract
In the realm of industrial production, condition monitoring plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and longevity of rotating machinery. Since most of the production facilities rely heavily on vibration analysis, it has become the cornerstone of condition monitoring practices. However, manual analysis of vibration signals is a time-consuming and expertise-intensive task, often requiring specialized domain knowledge. The current research addresses the aforementioned challenges by proposing a novel semi-automated diagnostics system. The approach leverages historical vibration data in the form of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrums. The system extracts energy features from the frequency domain by dividing the frequency range into a predefined number of bins and summing the energy values within each bin. Subsequently, each datapoint is labeled based on the corresponding machine condition, enabling the system to learn diagnostic patterns by employing machine learning models. This approach facilitates efficient and accurate diagnostics with minimal manual intervention. The resulting dataset effectively represents and provides an interpretable result. Support Vector Machines (SVM), and ensemble algorithms are utilized to diagnose the faults instantaneously and with minimal error rates. The proposed system is capable of providing early warnings and thus prevents further deterioration and unplanned downtimes. Experimental validation using real-world data demonstrates the system's efficacy, achieving an accuracy of over 90%.
