Predictive Maintenance: Evolution, Purposes and Approaches for Industrial Systems - A Comprehensive Review

This paper highlights the importance of maintenance techniques in the coming industrial revolution, reviews the evolution of maintenance techniques, and presents a comprehensive literature review on the latest advancement of maintenance techniques, i.e., Predictive Maintenance (PdM), with emphasis on system architectures, optimization objectives and approaches. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has emerged as a transformative approach in the realm of industrial maintenance, particularly in process plants. By leveraging advanced technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning, PdM enables proactive identification and resolution of potential equipment failures, significantly reducing downtime, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. This paper provides a comprehensive review of PdM, exploring its evolution, key technologies, benefits, challenges, and future trends.
