Predictive Maintenance with Simulink: Onboard Diagnostics

Overview

Many companies are trying to reduce unexpected failures in their equipment by developing predictive maintenance algorithms. Some of the difficulties associated with developing these algorithms include the lack of failure data from the machine, as well as being unable to incorporate their engineering and modeling expertise into the final solution.

In this webinar, we will show you how to use physical models of your system to generate failure data by simulating fault conditions, and then using this data to train a predictive model. We also show you how to integrate these algorithms with your embedded devices so that your algorithms operate directly on real data coming from your machine.
