▪ Useful Resources
▪ Q&A
2
Why Perform Predictive Maintenance?
▪ Example: faulty braking system leads to
wind turbine disaster
https://youtu.be/7nSB1SdVHqQ
▪ Wind turbines cost millions of dollars
▪ Failures can be dangerous
▪ Maintenance also very expensive and
dangerous
3
Types of Maintenance
▪ Reactive – Do maintenance once there’s a
problem
– Problem: unexpected failures can be expensive and
potentially dangerous
▪ Scheduled – Do maintenance at a regular rate
– Problem: unnecessary maintenance can be wasteful;
may not eliminate all failures
▪ Predictive – Forecast when problems will arise
– Problem: difficult to make accurate forecasts for
complex equipment

Baker Hughes Develops Predictive Maintenance Software
for Gas and Oil Extraction Equipment Using Data Analytics
and Machine Learning
Challenge
Develop a predictive maintenance system to reduce
pump equipment costs and downtime
Solution
Use MATLAB to analyze nearly one terabyte of data
and create a neural network that can predict machine Truck with positive displacement pump.

Results “MATLAB gave us the ability to convert previously unreadable
▪ Savings of more than $10 million projected data into a usable format; automate filtering, spectral analysis,
and transform steps for multiple trucks and regions; and
▪ Development time reduced tenfold
ultimately, apply machine learning techniques in real time to
▪ Multiple types of data easily accessed
predict the ideal time to perform maintenance.”
