Predictive maintenance of electromechanical systems based on enhanced generative adversarial neural network with convolutional neural network

Abstract

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a cost-cutting method that involves avoiding breakdowns and production losses. Deep learning (DL) algorithms can be used for defect prediction and diagnostics due to the huge amount of data generated by the integration of analog and digital systems in manufacturing operations. To improve the predictive maintenance strategy, this study uses a hybrid of the convolutional neural network (CNN) and conditional generative adversarial neural network (CGAN) model. The proposed CNN-CGAN algorithm improves forecast accuracy while substantially reducing model complexity. A comparison with standalone CGAN utilizing a public dataset is performed to evaluate the proposed model. The results show that the proposed CNN-CGAN model outperforms the conditional GAN (CGAN) in terms of prediction accuracy. The average F-Score is increased from 97.625% for the CGAN to 100% for the CNN-CGAN.
