  1. Title of tutorial: Smart Predictive Maintenance (SPM) based on Smart Big Data (SBD) and Digital Twins (DT)  [DOCX,  pdf]
  2. Outline of the tutorial/workshop (topic and description)
Workshop Abstract (why important and why timely and why good for audience):
 
The field of health monitoring, fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance is expanding dramatically to maintain successful operation in many engineering applications. Experienced engineers and researchers agree that before designing a predictive maintenance program, we need to ask two questions 1) “What do we have/know?” and 2) “What do we want?” and after we have designed a systematic approach, we also need to ask two questions 1) “How optimal?” and 2) “How robust?”. With the emerging wave of “Digital Transformation” such as Industry 4.0, we promote asking the third question: “How smart?”. This workshop introduces a new frontier for engineers: Smart Predictive Maintenance (SPM), using Smart Big Data (SBD) and Digital Twins (DT) as the enabler technology combined with IAI (industrial artificial intelligence) and groundbreaking technologies like Deep Learning, AI, Data Analytics, Big Data, and edge computing.
 
For SPM, the concept of “smartness” follows the notion of the US NSF program on S&AS (smart and autonomous systems) based on the following attributes 1) Taskable; 2) Cognitive; 3) Reflective; 4) Ethical; 5) Knowledge-rich. It means that a smart predictive maintenance system can learn from past actions and induced errors (resilience), discover hidden patterns and anomalous behaviors at multiple time scales and reach the desired operation specifications. This workshop will present a case study to illustrate the SPM fundamentals enabled by SBD and DTs.
 
This tutorial workshop prepares our audience with
· What is SPM: Smart Predictive Maintenance?
· Digital Twins (DT) concept, example DT platforms, and DT behavior matching algorithms, and usage for fault detection and RUL estimation
· SPM design based on SBD and DT
· Edge computing, embedded and industrial AI applications towards SPM.
· Mechatronics testbed for smart predictive maintenance and case studies.
· Rich future research opportunities in SPM and DT.
