Predictive maintenance (PM) algorithms are widely applied for detecting operational anomalies on industrial processes to schedule for a maintenance intervention before a possible breakdown; however, much less focus has been devoted to the use of such prognostics in process scheduling. The existing solutions mostly integrate preventive approaches to protect the machines, usually causing downtimes. The premise of this study is to develop a process scheduling mechanism that selects an acceptable operating condition for an industrial process to adapt to the predicted anomalies. As PM is largely a data-driven approach (hence, it relies on the setup), we first compare different PM approaches and identify a one-class support vector machine (OCSVM) as the best performing option for the anomaly detection on our setup. Then, we propose a novel pipeline to integrate maintenance predictions into a real-time, adaptive process scheduling mechanism. According to the abnormal readings, it schedules for the most suitable operation, i.e., optimizing for machine health and process efficiency, toward preventing breakdowns while maintaining its availability and operational state, thereby reducing downtimes. To demonstrate the pipeline on the action, we implement our approach on a small-scale conveyor belt, utilizing our Internet of Things (IoT) framework. The results show that our PM-based adaptive process control retains an efficient process under abnormal conditions with less or no downtime. We also conclude that a PM approach does not provide sufficient efficiency without its integration into an autonomous planning process.

The recent scenario of modern manufacturing is tremendously improved in the sense of precision machining and abstaining from environmental pollution and hazard issues. In the present work, Ti6Al4V is machined through wire EDM (WEDM) process with powder mixed dielectric and analyzed the influence of input parameters and inherent hazard issues. WEDM has different parameters such as peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, gap voltage, wire speed, wire tension and so on, as well as dielectrics with powder mixed. These are playing an essential role in WEDM performances to improve the process efficiency by developing the surface texture, microhardness, and metal removal rate. Even though the parameter’s influencing, the study of environmental effect in the WEDM process is very essential during the machining process due to the high emission of toxic vapour by the high discharge energy. In the present study, three different dielectric fluids were used, including deionised water, kerosene, and surfactant added deionised water and analysed the data by taking one factor at a time (OFAT) approach. From this study, it is established that dielectric types and powder significantly improve performances with proper set of machining parameters and find out the risk factor associated with the PMWEDM process.
