摘要：AbstractPrognostic methods for predictive maintenance have been presented extensively in the literature. While this area’s continuing effort positively affects individual predictive maintenance solutions’ performance and capabilities, a method’s setup remains a big hurdle as the solution space is becoming more complex. The critical settings of a prognostic method are the selection of suitable modeling techniques used for behavior- and condition-modeling, as well as a forecast model for failure prediction. This paper presents a generalized topology of a prognostic method to ease the design of maintenance systems and allow for quicker individual method design and modification. After a broad literature review, the topology and its base components are presented, and an overview of the different kinds of models related to predictive maintenance applications is given.
