Scalable predictive maintenance for industrial automation equipment

A method to facilitate predictive maintenance for industrial assets in an industrial automation environment, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of industrial automation process variables associated with at least one industrial asset employed in an industrial automation process;
• feeding the industrial automation process variables into a machine learning model associated with the at least one industrial asset to generate a future maintenance event prediction for the at least one industrial asset;
• and
• providing the future maintenance event prediction for the at least one industrial asset to an industrial controller that controls the at least one industrial asset.

An apparatus to facilitate predictive maintenance for industrial assets in an industrial automation environment, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• receive a plurality of industrial automation process variables associated with at least one industrial asset employed in an industrial automation process;
• feed the industrial automation process variables into a machine learning model associated with the at least one industrial asset to generate a future maintenance event prediction for the at least one industrial asset;
• and
• provide the future maintenance event prediction for the at least one industrial asset to an industrial controller that controls the at least one industrial asset.
