"Predictive Behavior Analysis: A Practical Application in the Industry"
ENGR 301
Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of car manufacturing, the reliable performance of 3-phase AC motors plays a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing downtime. This research addresses the need for proactive maintenance by presenting a predictive behavior analysis framework focused on obtaining vibration patterns from these motors. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, specifically Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and artificial intelligence, we aim at creating a robust model for normal behavior analysis of motors.
Unanticipated motor failures can lead to costly production halts, delays, and potential safety concerns. By developing a model that captures the complexities of normal motor behavior, our approach enables the identification of deviations in vibration patterns, serving as an early warning system for potential impending failures.
The methodology empowers car manufacturers to proactively address maintenance needs, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing the impact of unexpected downtime. Through real-time monitoring and analysis, our predictive behavior analysis not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing process. As industries increasingly adopt smart manufacturing practices, our research provides a valuable tool for ensuring the reliability and longevity of 3-phase AC motors, ultimately benefiting the broader automotive manufacturing sector.
