Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The production processes of the future (Industry 4.0) are intelligent systems composed of several cyber-physical modules (CPMs). A CPM can be an integration of a machine (physical part) with its intelligent sensors (IoT: Internet of Things) and actuators to enable it to automatically collect information about the machine’s condition and also the product quality. This information is very useful for maintenance planning and quality control of these production processes. Correct implementation of both maintenance and quality control can help to avoid machine failures and improve processes’ performances. However, the collected data about a production process are complex and usually recognized as big data. The exploitation of these data is then very challenging. For this reason, this Special Issue collects papers with the aim to develop advanced models based on machine learning/deep learning for predictive maintenance planning and statistical control of the future production processes. We expect that these advanced models will be a theoretical basis for improving the performance of the industrial processes and support the zero-failure and zero-defect concepts of Industry 4.0.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is one of the most powerful maintenance techniques based on the estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of machines. Accurately estimating the RUL is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of PdM. However, current methods have limitations in fully exploring condition monitoring data, particularly vibration signals, for RUL estimation. To address these challenges, this research presents a novel Robust Multi-Branch Deep Learning (Robust-MBDL) model. Robust-MBDL stands out by leveraging diverse data sources, including raw vibration signals, time–frequency representations, and multiple feature domains. To achieve this, it adopts a specialized three-branch architecture inspired by efficient network designs. The model seamlessly integrates information from these branches using an advanced attention-based Bi-LSTM network. Furthermore, recognizing the importance of data quality, Robust-MBDL incorporates an unsupervised LSTM-Autoencoder for noise reduction in raw vibration data. This comprehensive approach not only overcomes the limitations of existing methods but also leads to superior performance. Experimental evaluations on benchmark datasets such as XJTU-SY and PRONOSTIA showcase Robust-MBDL’s efficacy, particularly in rotating machine health prognostics. These results underscore its potential for real-world applications, heralding a new era in predictive maintenance practices. Full article

In recent years, shipborne emissions have become a growing environmental threat. The International Maritime Organization has implemented various rules and regulations to resolve this concern. The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, Energy Efficiency Design Index, and Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator are examples of guidelines that increase energy efficiency and reduce shipborne emissions. The main engine shaft power (MESP) and fuel consumption (FC) are the critical components used in ship energy efficiency calculations. Errors in ship energy efficiency calculation methodologies are also caused by misinterpretation of these values. This study aims to predict the MESP and FC of a container ship with the help of data-driven methodologies utilizing actual voyage data to assist in the calculation process of the ship’s energy efficiency indexes appropriately. The algorithms’ prediction success was measured using the RMSE, MAE, and R2 error metrics. When the simulation results were analyzed, the Deep Neural Network and Bayes algorithms predicted MESP best with 0.000001 and 0.000002 RMSE, 0.000987 and 0.000991 MAE, and 0.999999 R2, respectively, while the Multiple-Linear Regression and Kernel Ridge algorithms estimated FC best with 0.000208 and 0.000216 RMSE, 0.001375 and 0.001471 MAE, and 0.999999 R2, respectively.
