Abstract

With large amount of machine log data at our disposal, predictive maintenance has come into play in many avenues. A key component in predictive modelling is to identify and track error patterns that are indicative of underlying component failure. Subject matter experts (SME) or system experts who know internals of the said component and its interaction with overall system usually define the error patterns. However, this opinion is biased and prone to human error. Subjectivity in defining error patterns can result in omission of certain error patterns. Here, we introduce an approach to identify probable error patterns in an unsupervised manner on MR machine log data, which allows us to automate this task with high efficiency and without need of subject matter expert and bias. This automation also reduces the time taken to analyse large volumes of log data and create meaningful machine learning models for predicting possible failure of components.
