Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for estimating remaining useful life of a bearing are provided. The method includes receiving a request for analyzing a defect in the bearing from a source. The request includes operational data associated with the bearing. An impact of the defect on the bearing is monitored over a period of time. A time period during which the impact of the defect on the bearing is higher than a threshold range is determined using a machine learning model. A severity of the impact associated with the defect is computed during the time period. A remaining useful life of the bearing is determined based on the severity and the operational data during the time period.
Claims16
A computer-implemented method for estimating remaining useful life of a bearing, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing unit, a request for analyzing a defect in the bearing from a source, wherein the request comprises operational data associated with the bearing;
- monitoring an impact of the defect on the bearing over a period of time;
- determining a time period during which the impact of the defect on the bearing is higher than a threshold range using a machine learning model;
- computing a severity of the impact associated with the defect during the time period;
- determining a remaining useful life of the bearing based on the severity and the operational data during the time period;
- and
- generating a notification indicating the remaining useful life of the bearing on an output device.
