Predictive diagnostics solutions beyond big data

Predictive diagnostics introduces new service models to enhance the availability, to optimize maintenance intervals and to reduce maintenance time and costs of vehicles and machines.The article gives an overview about concepts and methods of predictive diagnostics.Predictive diagnostics has to be use system and component knowledge, combined with existing and new algorithm and vehicle and environmental data. Target of this service is the prediction of upcoming component breakdowns during daily operation using state based pro-files and optimization of the period inspection. With this information the vehicle driver, automobile manufacturer or fleet management shall be enabled to plan a maintenance window or an exchange of the affected component in advance. Thus an unplanned breakdown can be converted into a predictable maintenance event.
