Industrial Machine Failure Prediction

The project proposal outlines a plan to predict industrial machine failures using a predictive maintenance dataset sourced from Kaggle, which contains 10,000 rows and various data types. The exploration plan includes data cleaning, summary statistics, and visualizations to analyze relationships and distributions, while addressing challenges such as multiple failure types and potential outliers. Key questions focus on identifying impactful variables, patterns in failure types, and the relationship between tool wear and machine failures.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

Group 1

1. Title:
“Industrial Machine Failure Prediction by using probability and statistical methods”

2. Dataset Description:
• Dataset: Predictive Maintenance Dataset
• Source: Kaggle
• Size: The dataset contains 10,000 rows and 10 columns
• Type: The dataset contains numerical, categorical and binary data:
o Numerical: Air temperature, Process temperature, Rotational speed, Torque,
Tool wear
o Categorical: Product ID, Type, Failure Type
o Binary: Target (0 or 1)

3. General Exploration Plan:


➢ Data Cleaning & Preprocessing
• Check for missing values and null values.
• Convert categorical variables into numerical format using one-hot encoding.
• Normalize or standardize numerical features if necessary to improve model
performance.
• Remove unnecessary columns if they are not useful for the analysis.

➢ Summary Statistics:
• Use summary statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation) to understand
the distribution of machine data.

➢ Visualizations:
• Create Histograms & Boxplots for showing the distribution of the data set by using
ggplot2 and baseR.
• Use scatter plots to explore relationships between different variables.
• Produce bar charts for categorical variables, such as machine types and failure
types.
• Create heat map to check the corelation between all the columns with respect to
each other.
• Use Pie charts to understand the proportion of different failure types.
• Create density plot to analyse the probability distribution of the process
temperature and other numerical variables based on failure.
➢ Challenges:
• The dataset contains multiple failure types, which may require separate modelling
approaches.
• If failure cases are less compared to non-failures, it could affect model
performance.
• Outliers in sensor readings could impact analysis.
• Some features may have a significant number of missing values, which could affect
analysis.

4. Questions to answer
i. Which variables impact the most to cause machine failures?
- Understanding key variables such as temperature, torque, wear that lead to failures
can help to optimize maintenance schedules.

ii. Are there patterns in the failure types?


- Analysing various failure types can help in finding root causes and enhancing machine
reliability.

iii. Can we predict machine failures based on the sensor readings?


- We can use different types of machine learning algorithms and train them on machine
data to predict machine failures.

iv. How does tool wear affect machine failure?


- Checking whether excessive wear is a main contributing factor to breakdowns.

v. Are there any major differences in failure rates between different machine types?
- This question is important because it can help identify if certain machine types are
more prone to failures, allowing for targeted improvements.
