Deep convolutional neural networks for cyclic sensor data
Predictive maintenance plays a critical role in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of industrial systems and mitigating the potential risks associated with system failures. This study focuses on sensor-based condition monitoring and explores the application of deep learning techniques using a hydraulic system testbed dataset. Our investigation involves comparing the performance of three models: a baseline model employing conventional methods, a single CNN model with early sensor fusion, and a two-lane CNN model (2L-CNN) with late sensor fusion. The baseline model achieves an impressive test error rate of 1 by employing late sensor fusion, where feature extraction is performed individually for each sensor. However, the CNN model encounters challenges due to the diverse sensor characteristics, resulting in an error rate of 20.5 further investigate this issue, we conduct separate training for each sensor and observe variations in accuracy. Additionally, we evaluate the performance of the 2L-CNN model, which demonstrates significant improvement by reducing the error rate by 33 optimal sensors. This study underscores the importance of effectively addressing the complexities posed by multi-sensor systems in sensor-based condition monitoring.
