Predictive maintenance leverages equipment sensor data and advanced analytics to foresee potential machine failures, allowing for proactive maintenance that reduces unexpected breakdowns and enhances operational efficiency. This approach is applicable to various components like motors, bearings, and conveyors, and is demonstrated using Amazon Bedrock's Foundation Models (FMs) in Amazon's fulfillment centers. The solution includes two phases: sensor alarm generation and root cause diagnosis, with the latter enhanced by a multimodal generative AI assistant. This assistant improves diagnostics through time series analysis, guided troubleshooting, and multimodal capabilities, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs. By integrating these technologies, industries can achieve faster and more accurate root cause analysis, improving overall equipment performance and reliability. This matters because it enhances the efficiency and reliability of industrial operations, reducing downtime and maintenance costs while extending the lifespan of critical equipment.
