Short Course: Machine Learning for Predictive Maintenance
Introduction
Continuous training programs/short-courses aimed at expanding the current offer of HEIs in terms of lifelong learning courses and providing innovative training paths to adult learners, interested in re/upskilling their knowledge and skills in topics related to industry 4.0 (same as listed above), better equipping them to undertake or keep pace with organizational/job-related changes. These courses will include a practical component, comprising hands-on projects.
Short Course Title
Machine Learning and Data Analytics to Predictive Maintenance
Short Course Date
February 2020 31.1, 1.2, 7.2, 8.2, 14.2, 15.2, 21.2, 22.2
Friday: From 18 p.m. to 21 p.m.
Saturday: From 10 p.m.
Purpose And Motivation
Competitiveness is more crucial than ever in the current economic landscape, affecting a company's ability to deliver quality products at low prices. Due to their potential to substantially reduce production costs and increase productivity, proactive maintenance practices, such as predictive maintenance, have a profound impact on business competitiveness. With predictive maintenance, maintenance interventions are performed only when necessary and before equipment failure occurs, avoiding potentially catastrophic breakdowns and unnecessary interruptions of production. Thanks to the current trend of automation and data exchange in industrial environments, assisted by the rise of the Internet of Things, a large amount of operational data is now available, or can be acquired with relative ease. Machine Learning and Data Mining techniques can be used to extract knowledge from this data and support a company's decision making to improve its operations and competitiveness.
Objectives
At the end of this course, trainees should have a deeper understanding of Predictive Maintenance and its advantages, as well as knowledge of the process and tools required for its implementation.
Learning Outcomes
Trainees are expected to:
Be able of recognizing the added value of Predictive Maintenance;
Understand the basics of Machine Learning;
Be familiar with the process of predicting failures and with some of the algorithms that can be used;
Know some of the most commonly used intelligent data analysis tools.
Background
This course is destinated to directors of Maintenance/manufacturing.
