Predictive Maintenance for Industrial IoT using Azure Machine Learning and IoT Hub

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial IoT

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial IoT using Azure

  • Use Case:

    Industrial equipment failures lead to downtime, costly repairs, and safety risks. Traditional maintenance (reactive or scheduled) is inefficient, as machines may either fail unexpectedly or get serviced unnecessarily.

    Predictive Maintenance (PdM) uses IoT sensors + AI to predict equipment failures before they occur.

    With Azure IoT Hub (for sensor data ingestion) and Azure Machine Learning (for predictive modeling), industries can achieve real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and proactive maintenance scheduling.

Objective

  • To collect and process real-time IoT telemetry data (vibration, temperature, pressure, voltage, etc.) from industrial equipment.

    To train and deploy machine learning models that predict equipment failure likelihood.

    To enable automated maintenance alerts that reduce downtime and operational costs.

Project Description

  • Data Collection & Ingestion :

    Connect industrial IoT sensors (motors, pumps, turbines) to Azure IoT Hub.

    Stream real-time telemetry data (temperature, vibration, RPM).

    Store historical data in Azure Data Lake / Blob Storage for analysis.

Data Preprocessing

  • Clean and normalize sensor readings.

    Extract features (e.g., frequency domain features from vibration signals).

    Label data with failure events from maintenance logs.

Model Development

  • Train predictive models (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, or Deep Learning LSTM models).

    Use Azure Machine Learning Service for training, experiment tracking, and model registry.

    Perform hyperparameter tuning with Azure ML HyperDrive.

Deployment

  • Deploy trained models as REST APIs on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure IoT Edge for real-time scoring.
  • Send alerts via Azure Functions / Logic Apps when failure probability crosses a threshold.

Monitoring & Maintenance

  • Continuously monitor model performance with Azure Monitor.
  • Retrain periodically with new IoT data to improve accuracy.
