Abstract

One of the major targets in industry is minimising the downtime of a machine while maximising its availability, with maintenance considered as a key aspect towards achieving this objective. Condition based maintenance and prognostics and health management, which relies on the concepts of diagnostics and prognostics, is a policy that has been gaining ground over several years. The successful implementation of this methodology is heavily dependent on the quality of data used which can be undermined in scenarios where there is missing data. This issue may compromise the information contained within a data set, thus having a significant effect on the conclusions that can be drawn, hence it is important to find suitable techniques to address this matter. To date a number of methods to recover such data, called imputation techniques, have been proposed. This paper reviews the most widely used methodologies and presents a case study using actual industrial centrifugal compressor data, in order to identify the most suitable technique.
