In this paper a multiple classifier machine learning methodology for Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is presented.PdM prominent strategy dealing with maintenance issues given the increasing need to minimize downtime and associated costs.One of challenges PdM generating so called 'health factors' or quantitative indicators status system issue, determining their relationship operating costs failure risk.The proposed allows dynamical decision rules be adopted management can used high-dimensional...
Silicon epitaxial deposition is a process strongly influenced by wafer temperature behavior, which has to be constantly monitored avoid the production of defective wafers. However, measurements are not reliable, and sensors have appropriately calibrated with some dedicated procedure. A predictive maintenance (PdM) system proposed aim predicting behavior scheduling control actions on in advance. Two different prediction techniques been employed compared: Kalman predictor particle filter...
