Predictive Maintenance Internet Of Things

Develop new

business models to uncover

new revenue streams and new

sources of value for

customers.

An Internet of Things (IoT) strategy for predictive maintenance (PdM) need not be that different from any other operational technology strategy, or for that fact, any business-related strategy or implementation plan. These are the basic building blocks, stock phrases and truisms one finds in most of the business strategy literature.

Predictive Maintenance IOTThese are the basic building blocks, stock phrases and truisms one finds in most of the business strategy literature. They are legitimate, unoriginal pieces of advice. None of it is contradictory or controversial, and these behaviors have been cited by those declaring success.

IoT Planning Recommendations

These are the crucial things to consider as you plan your foray into IoT-based predictive maintenance:

Obtain C-level buy-in before you start Think globally, act locally Go for low-hanging fruit to obtain the success

and enthusiasm needed to obtain approval to achieve more expensive goals

Remember that no one vendor can do it all; pick those that have a track record or commitment to working together

Understand the value PdM will bring before you start

Always include change management activities into your plans

Understand which equipment is worth a predictive maintenance investment

Understand which equipment failures can be forecasted versus those that cannot

IoT Implementation SuggestionsOnce the vision is clear, follow these recommendations to minimize risk and facilitate rapid payback from your IoT predictive maintenance investment:

Start small, then expand Deliver iteratively Avoid obscure standards Choose popular technology backed by a solid

name, but on their emerging, relative to your situation, platform.

Avoid technology lock-in Ensure security is a priority for any IoT project

and build depth as well as coverage Start with telemetry before moving to control Always include upgrade and configuration

management requirements into your plans Understand the warranty consequences of

fitting sensors Develop an archive strategy early Embed the PdM into your standard workflows

and operations

Azure Internet Of ThingsOur solution is a heavily modified version of a

system described by Alan K Fish, in his book Knowledge Automation. The technologies used in our example include Microsoft Azure Machine Learning (ML), Azure Intelligent Systems Service (ISS), HDInsight, and Sparkling Logic’s SMARTS Decision Management service.We’ve applied our expertise in predictive maintenance (PdM), decision management, analytics, machine learning and cloud to create the conceptual architecture show below.

Azure Internet Of Things

At the cost of oversimplification, here is the flow:

1) Data is generated by various devices and sensors.

2) Azure ISS is used to provide a secure connection and help with the management of devices and collection of data. Once the data is in the cloud we store it in a “data lake” built using HDInsight.

3) Next we apply Azure ML’s machine learning algorithms to uncover patterns and gain predictive insight.

4) Finally, the enriched data set can be fed to a decision management service, like SMARTS, which fires off decisions.

In short, the architecture above siphons data in, makes sense of it and churns decisions out – with limited human involvement! While many details are missing, conceptually this represents a predictive, “decisioning,” cloud service that can be re-used for multiple scenarios.
