Stricter performance requirements, increased response speeds, and growing maintenance costs in modern machine/vehicle/power systems require new paradigms in integrated real-time systems monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics, and automated maintenance scheduling. Included are lean industrial systems, integrated energy-efficient automotive systems, dynamic power generation and load management, and high performance aerospace systems. Systems performance can be significantly improved and useful lifetimes significantly extended through modern Condition-Based Maintenance methods. CBM is based on advanced sensing methods and decision-making techniques that improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs for modern engineered systems. In this talk we provide a background in Intelligent Diagnosis and Prognosis Prognostics that uses an integrated systems approach to provide monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics techniques that have the potential to guarantee enhanced system performance, increased equipment lifetimes, and reduced down-time. |
