N2 - Diagnostic and prognostic tools have been developed in a
three year project Prognos - Prognostics for Industrial
Machinery Availability. Industrial cases selected on the
basis of the strategic needs of the industrial partners
in the Prognos-project formed the basis of the work
carried out by the research organisations. A general
schematic description of prognostic concepts made in the
project assists in figuring out the different areas of
existing methods, available data and possible further
development needs in any specific cases considered. The
results of the research and development in the Prognos
project include methods, tools and knowledge covering
many areas and technologies including tools from
maintenance planning to component level monitoring,
diagnostics and prognostics and 3D visualisation of
respective data. A conceptual software tool was developed
for prognostics, as well as tools for combining
monitoring and process data, and for feature extraction.
Vibration based method for adaptive grease lubrication
was developed. The results also include methods and
techniques required for remote diagnostics of electrical
motors as well as diagnostics of quality control systems
of paper machines. An on-line method for monitoring
coating wear under erosive environment was also
developed. The results have been published in a number of
publications, the total number being in excess of 90.
This includes 7 M.Sc. theses, one doctoral thesis, and 5
international journal articles, 31 international
conference papers, 11 national journal articles, 24
national conference papers and a number of other
publications. This article presents a short summary of
the project, together with a general description of the
prognostic concept, main results and industrial benefits.
