It is inevitable that when one aspect leads and other trails behind, they coexist in life, as is often the case. The trailing aspect cannot remain far behind because, without application and use, there would be a dead end. Everything, whether an object, software, or tool, must have a practical use for humans. Without this, it will become obsolete. We can see this in many instances, such as blockchain technology, which is superior yet faces challenges in practical implementation, leading to a decline in adoption. This publication aims to bridge the gap between AI advancements and maintenance, specifically focusing on making predictive maintenance a practical application. There are multiple building blocks that make predictive maintenance a practical application. Each block performs a function leading to an output. This output forms an input to the receiving block. There are also foundational parts for all these building blocks to perform a function. Eventually, once the building blocks are connected, they form a loop and start to lead the path to predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance is indeed practically achievable, but one must comprehend all the building blocks necessary for its implementation. Although detailed explanations will be provided in the upcoming sections, it is important to understand that simply purchasing software and plugging it in might be a far-fetched approach.展开更多
