Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in industrial environments has revolutionized manufacturing processes, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of machine learning approaches for predictive maintenance in industrial IoT systems. We investigate various algorithms including Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Deep Neural Networks for predicting equipment failures before they occur. Our methodology involves data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation using real-world industrial datasets from manufacturing plants. The experimental results demonstrate that ensemble methods, particularly Random Forest with feature selection, achieve the highest accuracy of 94.2% in predicting equipment failures. The proposed framework reduces maintenance costs by 35% and increases equipment uptime by 28% compared to traditional reactive maintenance approaches. The study also addresses challenges related to data quality, sensor integration, and real-time processing requirements. Our findings contribute to the advancement of Industry 4.0 initiatives and provide practical insights for implementing predictive maintenance systems in industrial environments.
