Three-phase motors are commonly adopted in several industrial contexts and their failures can result in costly downtime causing undesired service outages; therefore, motor diagnostics is an issue that assumes great importance. To prevent their failures and face the considered service outages in a timely manner, a non-invasive method to identify electrical and mechanical faults in three-phase asynchronous electric motors is proposed in the paper. In particular, a measurement strategy along with a machine learning algorithm based on an artificial neural network is exploited to properly classify failures. In particular, digitized current samples of each motor phase are first processed by means of FFT and PSD in order to estimate the associated spectrum. Suitable features (in terms of frequency and amplitude of the spectral components) are then singled out to either train or feed a neural network acting as a classifier. The method is preliminarily validated on a set of 28 electric motors, and its performance is compared with common state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. The obtained results show that the proposed methodology is able to reach accuracy levels greater than 98% in identifying anomalous conditions of three-phase asynchronous motors.
Today, cloud systems provide many key services to development and production environments; reliable storage services are crucial for a multitude of applications ranging from commercial manufacturing, distribution and sales up to scientific research, which is often at the forefront of computing resource demands. In large-scale computer centers, the storage system requires particular attention and investment; usually, a large number of diverse storage devices need to be deployed in order to match the varying performance and volume requirements of changing user applications. As of today, magnetic drives still play a dominant role in terms of deployed storage volume and of service outages due to device failure. In this paper, we study methods to facilitate automated proactive disk replacement. We propose a method to identify disks with media failures in a production environment and describe an application of supervised machine learning to predict disk failures. In particular, a proper stage to automatically label (healthy/at-risk) the disks during the training and validation stage is presented along with tuning strategy to optimize the hyperparameters of the associated machine learning classifier. The approach is trained and validated against a large set of 65,000 hard drives in the CERN computer center, and the achieved results are discussed.
