Abstract
With the advancement of technology, it is viable to obtain data from sen-
sors in real-time from industrial equipment, engines, heavy machines, and
manmade structures. The collected data in real-time can be further utilized
to perform maintenance of assets before these entities get entirely worn-
out which in technical terms known as predictive maintenance. The down-
time of dilapidated instruments can lead to loss of revenues and can be a
threat to the workers on the facilities. In time and precise prediction of
such failures using the data acquired through sensors can alleviate the
downtime of the equipment, hence, helps in cutting off the revenue losses
and ensure the safety of the workers. If enough historical data associated
with equipment is available, then artificial intelligence techniques like ma-
chine learning as well as deep learning may be utilized for identification of
equipment failures in parts or as a whole. Deep learning algorithms have
shown profound progress in the problem areas where practitioners and re-
searchers had been eluded for several decades. This chapter provides an
insight into the deep learning algorithms used for predictive maintenance.
It also provides an overview of industrial sensors and future research as-
pects of sensors using techniques of deep learning for predictive mainte-
nance.

Introduction
A sensor is a device that converts physical signals which are measured from
the environment into electrical signals [1]. It is possible to repeatedly meas-
ure and store the physical quantities from the environment. The stored
measurements can be utilized to study the behavior of these physical quan-
tities. Moreover, a realistic system can also be devised to analyze the meas-
urements taken from sensors in real-time to gain valuable insights and
make important decisions.
Certain internal and external physical quantities are affected and their
reading change during the operation of an asset due to the change in the
working environment. These physical quantities include but not limited to
internal oil temperature, and pressure, external temperature, and humid-
ity, etc. Continuous monitoring of these variables to identify the drift of
equipment from its normal condition and taking measures to evade them
is referred as predictive maintenance [2].
In the past few decades, data-driven predictive maintenance has been ef-
ficacious due to the improvised data acquisition techniques, application of
different types of sensors, machine learning and deep learning, and availa-
bility of big data.
2. Maintenance
The failure of industrial equipment, heavy machines, engines, and struc-
tures leads to unwanted downtime, enough economic damages, and put
5
the worker’s safety at risk. These issues can be mitigated if the mainte-
nance of such assets is performed on a timely basis. In general, mainte-
nance of an object can be defined as, servicing, functional checks, repairing
or replacing of required components, machinery, artificial infrastructures,
and supporting utilities in industrial, residential, business installations. In
other words, the maintenance process can be defined as maintaining the
equipment by troubleshooting problems either manually or through com-
puterized diagnostic tools [4].
Once the anomalies are being identified, the data can be further analyzed
to pinpoint the type and location of fault which is known as fault diagnosis.
Hence, the overall process of Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) isolates
anomalies and identifies the types of problems in the performance of es-
sential equipment required in the manufacturing, and processing indus-
tries such as motors, boilers, chillers, motors, elevators, pumps, exhaust
fans, etc. The application of FDD is beyond the manufacturing and pro-
cessing industries. For instance, it can be applied to detect and identify
anomalies in the man mad structures including buildings and bridges or to
detect problems in the water, oil, and gas distribution networks, etc. More-
over, recent developments have empowered FDD systems to render anom-
alies into real-world faults and generate alerts to operators listing details
about the failure of a component and how to resolve the problem.
2.1.3. Prognostic
Prognostics is the prediction of remaining useful time of equipment. Its
purpose is to predict the time after that the complete system or one of its
components will not give its desired performance [1]. The loss of smooth
operation of a system is mostly assumed to the failure of the whole system
or its components. Therefore, such a system can no longer be used to
achieve the desired performance. The predicted time is known as the re-
maining useful life (RUL), which plays an important role for deciding allevi-
ating failure. Prognostics can also be defined as predicting the future per-
formance of equipment by evaluating the degree of deviance or
deterioration of a system from its baseline operating conditions [2]. The
concept of prognostics depends upon the exploration time to start progno-
sis (TSP), an examination of failure modes, detection of wear and aging of
the components in the incipient stage, and fault conditions. Prognostic of
a system can be helpful and effective if ample knowledge about the root
cause of failure in the system is known. Therefore, it is essential to gather
all the vital information on the possible failures in a product that includes
10
information about the site, mode, cause, and mechanism of failure. This
information is helpful to monitor and optimize the targeted parameters of
a system. Potential uses for prognostics is in predictive maintenance. The
field of studies that relates failure mechanisms to the lifecycle of a system
is denoted as prognostics and health management (PHM). Prognostics
techniques can be divided into data-driven, model-based, and hybrid ap-
proaches.

Cross-domain Analysis
Poor performance in cross-domain applications. If the nature of
the application gets complex, satisfactory performance is not
guaranteed. Maintenance actions are performed according to the
failure prediction results.
The first layer receives original inputs that travel through the whole net-
work layer by layer in the forward direction. In this way, FF-DANN automat-
ically learns approximation of the original input data which can be later
used as features for regression as well as classification tasks
sorted out in layers. Each unit in a layer relates to all the units in the pre-
ceding layer.
DANN has been used for the fault diagnosis [37], leakage detection [38] ,
and prognosis of industrial equipment [37]. Moreover, its application can
also be seen in structural health monitoring [39].
Deep CNNs are traditional neural feedforward networks that use BP algo-
rithms for the adjustment of the network's parameters to optimize the cost
function. Fortunately, in four new aspects it is quite different from regular
BP networks: local receptive fields, shared weights, pooling, and different
layers combination. A basic deep neural network is given in Fig 7. Moreo-
ver, the selection of network architecture is domain and application-spe-
cific and can be modified accordingly. In the field of predictive mainte-
nance, researchers have utilized both one dimensional as well as two-
dimensional DCNNN architectures. It has been under study for predictive
maintenance in a number of domains including but not limited to bearing
[41] [35], high-velocity oxy-fuel machine [42], and buildings [43]
22
DNN and DCNN are not much of a use for the processing of sequential
information., e.g., if the occurrence of two inputs depends on each other
and constitute to the next input in time and so on, in such a scenario it is
better to adopt the recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture. The RNN
network can be considered as the replication of the same recurrent unit
throughout the network. The main goal behind using RNN is to explore the
sequential nature of inputs and extract information for further usage. It
predicts the next occurrence based upon the analyzed sequences in any
application where data comes in sequential order. A 3-layered DRNN archi-
tecture is shown in Fig 8 which takes input “s” at the time, t−1, t, and t+1
and predicts the respective output P at each time instance. Similarly, ct is
the hidden state at time t, ct−1 is the hidden state at time t−1, and ct+1 is
the next hidden state at time t + 1. Here, all hidden states take the input
from the previous hidden layer and contract in the calculation of final out-
put Pt+1 at time t+1. Moreover, x, y, and z represent the weights for differ-
ent layers. The application of DRNN in predictive maintenance can be
23
layer, an intermediate or code (hidden) layer, and output. In this way, au-
toencoder comprises of an encoder, and a decoder layer as shown in Fig 9.
In each layer, there are multiple processing units (neurons). The number of
processing units may be the same in all layers or may vary depending upon
the nature of implementation. In practical scenarios, where dimensionality
reduction of the input data is also intended, the number of processing units
in the code layer is kept minor than the input layer. The hidden layer ex-
tracts prominent information from the input data which can be used as
features for the categorization task. If multiple autoencoders are stacked,
it creates a stacked autoencoder. The learning process of the autoencoder
is unsupervised, whereas, if used in the categorization task, an additional
layer is appended to the stacked autoencoders which is fine-tuned sepa-
rately in a supervised manner, to determine the classes for instance under
observation. Most often this supervised layer is of SoftMax classifier. Deep
auto-encoders have been extensively used for the condition monitoring as
well as fault diagnosis of rotary machine bearings [51], leakage detection
of storage tank[52], fault detection of elevator system [53], etc.

process. For the past few years there is a huge tendency towards us-
ing deep learning methods in data-driven predictive maintenance has
been observed. One of the main reasons behind this is the ability of
deep learning algorithms to learn from the raw data by their own. It
means that if a deep learning technique has been incorporated in the
predictive maintenance strategy, there is no need for in depth
knowledge of the problem domain for feature engineering. Further-
more, a few additional advantages of deep learning algorithms as
compare to traditional machine learning techniques in terms of pre-
dictive maintenance have been listed in Table 2 [41][61][62][63].
7.1. Conclusion
With the advent of sensors, it became feasible to acquire data from indus-
trial equipment. The acquired data is further analyzed for insights. If the
analysis system is up to the mark that provides right perceptions without
any postponement about the industrial or motorized equipment, it can be
of an extra benefit to the expertise of the operators or engineers for taking
a precautionary action. Due to the current advancements in ML and DL

7.2.2. Explainability
There is no doubt that the data handling and exploration strength of deep
learning is far greater than that of machine learning. Its implication in the
field of predictive maintenance has reduced a lot of overhead and compli-
cations that were faced by classical machine learning techniques. To name
a few it can cope up with big data easily and can learn salient information
from the inputs automatically without the requirement of domain-specific
feature engineering step. Nevertheless, instead of enhanced capability,
deep leering algorithms are like a black box. At present, there is no proper
explanation that how deep learning algorithms accurately approximate the
