Abstract

The currently applied maintenance strategies, including Reactive and Preventive maintenance can be considered obsolete. The constant improvements in Information and Communication Technologies as well as in Digital Technologies along with the increase of computational power, have facilitated the development of new Artificial Intelligence algorithms to integrate cognition in computational systems. This trend is posing a great challenge for engineers, as such developments will enable the creation of robust systems that can monitor the current status of the machines and by extension to predict unforeseeable situations. Furthermore, Smart Computers will be capable of examining all possible scenarios and suggest viable solutions in a fraction of time compared to humans. Therefore, in this paper, the modelling, design and development of a Predictive Maintenance and Remote Monitoring system are proposed, based on the utilization of Artificial Intelligence algorithms for data acquisition, fusion, and post-processing. In addition to that, the proposed framework will integrate a Mixed Reality application for the intuitive visualization of the data, that will ultimately facilitate production and maintenance engineers to monitor the condition of the machines, and most importantly to get an accurate prediction of the oncoming failures.

  • The rapid advancements in BDA, ML, and AI have enabled DTs to reduce maintenance expenses and enhance overall system performance.

    “The rapid advancements in BDA, ML, and AI have enabled DTs to reduce maintenance expenses and enhance overall system performance [66,67].”

    From Digital Twins in the IIoT: Current Practices and Future Directions Toward Industry 5.0 (2025) · cites this paper as [67]

    The State of the Art: Machine Learning section says ML-based predictive maintenance can yield cost savings and increased system availability. Digital Twin Development describes using a digital twin to predict malfunctions and minimize downtime. The paper does not establish the full claim that rapid advances in BDA, ML, and AI have enabled digital twins to reduce maintenance expenses and enhance overall system performance. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
