Hot-Pressing Furnace Current Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance System in Aerospace Applications

This research combines the application of artificial intelligence in the production equipment fault monitoring of aerospace components. It detects three-phase current abnormalities in large hot-pressing furnaces through smart meters and provides early preventive maintenance. Different anomalies are classified, and a suitable monitoring process algorithm is proposed to improve the overall monitoring quality, accuracy, and stability by applying AI. We also designed a system to present the heater’s power consumption and the hot-pressing furnace’s fan and visualize the process. Combining artificial intelligence with the experience and technology of professional technicians and researchers to detect and proactively grasp the health of the hot-pressing furnace equipment improves the shortcomings of previous expert systems, achieves long-term stability, and reduces costs. The complete algorithm introduces a model corresponding to the actual production environment, with the best model result being XGBoost with an accuracy of 0.97.
