Engineering Asset Management Review

Abstract

Over recent years, a significant amount of research has been dedicated to the development of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) models. However, less attention is paid towards implementing the developed models to real-world applications to serve the needs of industry. In order to successfully implement a PHM system, a systematic approach is required to deploy the developed analytic tools (algorithms, software and agents) using a scalable hardware platform. In this paper, different PHM deployment platforms including stand-alone PC, embedded and cloud-based platforms are benchmarked. Then, a unified strategy for deploying the developed PHM tools using each of these platforms is presented. A smart deployment platform selection method using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is also introduced. Following that, several case studies from different applications are provided as examples to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of each deployment platform.
