Rotating Equipment PHM Platform

Physics-guided, regime-aware predictive health management for rotating machinery. Ranked failure mechanisms with the evidence behind them, not a black-box score.

A physics-guided, regime-aware architecture built on normal-behaviour modelling and evidence fusion is a more defensible industrial starting point than an end-to-end fault classifier.

An implementation of the architecture in "Artificial Intelligence for Rotating Equipment Health" (Lam Van Phong, 2026), built around a boiler feedwater pump pilot.

Four design principles

  1. Physics, not curve-fitting

    A simulated pump train with a real head curve, BEP efficiency, NPSH margin and shaft power. Six failure mechanisms are injected as causes; the symptoms follow from the hydraulics.

  2. Regime before residual

    A run-state machine and load bands decide whether a reading can be scored at all. Start-up, shutdown and load ramps are refused, not scored.

  3. Ranked mechanisms with evidence

    An FMEA rule-weight matrix fuses residuals into a ranked list with supporting and contradicting evidence: which variable moved, what the model expected, by how many sigma.

  4. Honest prognostics

    A 7, 30 and 90-day crossing probability instead of a point RUL the data cannot support. When the health index has already crossed the threshold, the platform says so.

Layered architecture

Each layer is validated separately and degrades independently: if the horizon model is not credible, anomaly detection and diagnosis still work.

  1. Machine physics and FMEA

    Pump curve, NPSH, BEP efficiency; 6 failure modes with separable signatures.

  2. Sensing and data quality

    A sensor quality flag gates scoring: a bad sensor cannot manufacture a diagnosis.

  3. Operating regime

    Run-state machine and load bands; start-up, shutdown and ramps are refused.

  4. Normal behaviour model

    An XGBoost regressor per monitored variable per steady regime.

  5. Anomaly score

    Mahalanobis distance over standardised residuals, calibrated against the healthy p99.

  6. Evidence fusion

    An FMEA rule-weight matrix producing a ranked list of mechanisms per scope.

  7. Health index and prognostics

    Weights from FMEA severity; 7/30/90-day crossing probability.

  8. CMMS loop

    Alert → evidence → work order → inspection finding → confirmed failure mode.

Limitations, stated rather than hidden

  • The simulator is synthetic: failure signatures are separable by construction, so model scores here are not evidence of plant performance.
  • What transfers to a real plant is the architecture, the refusal to score during regime changes and the withheld RUL when the data does not support one.

R&D and solution architecture themes

These are research and solution-design directions, not a list of products deployed for clients.

  1. Protective Coating & External Corrosion

    Condition surveys, damage maps, repair priorities and inspection history connected to the asset register.

  2. MRO Master Data & e-Catalog

    Noun–modifier rules, duplicate detection, equivalence review and material-data approval workflows.

  3. Operations Helpdesk & AI Portal

    Request intake, cited knowledge retrieval, expert handoff and an audit trail.

  4. EAM · APM · Data Platform

    Integration of work orders, condition monitoring, risk, HSSE and contextualized data around selected use cases.
