  • Patent number: 11958632
    Abstract: A data processing system for generating predictive maintenance models is disclosed, including one or more processors, a memory, and a plurality of instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to receive a historical dataset relating to each system of a plurality of systems, the historical dataset including maintenance data and operational data. The instructions are further executable to evaluate correlation between each of a plurality of operational data features and maintenance events of the maintenance data, using a supervised machine learning classification model. The instructions are further executable to display a quantitative result of the evaluation for each operational data feature in a graphical user interface, receive a selection of one or more operational data features of the plurality of operational data features, and generate a predictive maintenance model using the selected one or more operational data features according to a machine learning method.

  • Publication number: 20220026896
    Abstract: A data processing system for generating predictive maintenance models is disclosed, including one or more processors, a memory including one or more digital storage devices, and a plurality of instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the one or more processors to receive a historical dataset relating to each system of a plurality of systems, and including maintenance data and operational data. The instructions are further executable to receive a first selection of a first operational data feature and a first system, and display operational data associated with the first operational data feature and the first system, and maintenance data associated with the first system, on a timeline in a graphical user interface. The instructions are further executable to receive a second selection of a second operational data feature and generate a predictive maintenance model using the second operational data feature according to a machine learning method.

  • Publication number: 20220027762
    Abstract: A data processing system for generating predictive maintenance models is disclosed, including one or more processors, a memory including one or more digital storage devices, and a plurality of instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the one or more processors to receive a historical dataset relating to each system of a plurality of systems, the historical dataset including maintenance data and operational data. The instructions are further executable to receive a rule set for processing a first attribute of the operation data and calculate a custom data feature from the historical dataset according to the received rule set. The instructions are further executable to generate a predictive maintenance model, using the custom data feature according to a machine learning method.

  • Publication number: 20220024607
    Abstract: A data processing system for generating predictive maintenance models is disclosed, including one or more processors, a memory, and a plurality of instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to receive a historical dataset relating to each of a plurality of systems, including maintenance data and operational data. The instructions are further executable to display one or more algorithm templates and one or more data features calculated from the operational data, in a graphical user interface. The instructions are further executable to receive a selection of an algorithm template, a data feature, and a value of a parameter associated with the algorithm template, and to train and evaluate the selected algorithm template on the selected data feature according to the received value. The instructions are further executable to display a result of a metric of the evaluation, and generate a predictive maintenance model using the selected algorithm template.
