Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current predictive maintenance methods for drivers (motors, pumps, etc.) are inadequate in preventing huge losses due to downtime, as they fail to detect abnormal symptoms effectively and efficiently, leading to significant operational and repair costs.
Innovation Solution
A precise predictive maintenance method that measures and collects peak and constant speed values in normal and pre-failure driving states, sets alarm limits and slope values, and detects abnormalities in real-time by comparing these values with set limits, thereby alerting for timely maintenance and replacement.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If predictive maintenance methods are introduced to prevent driver failures, then downtime costs and operational losses are reduced, but the complexity of the monitoring and detection system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system is segmented into multiple independent detection modules, each focusing on specific parameters (peak value detection, constant speed value detection, slope value calculation). This modular approach allows the system to achieve comprehensive monitoring while maintaining manageable complexity through functional decomposition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection and analysis of driver parameters before actual failure occurs. By continuously monitoring peak values, constant speed values, and their slopes, the system identifies abnormal trends in advance, enabling preventive maintenance before downtime occurs, thus improving reliability without requiring overly complex real-time intervention systems.
2Measurement precision
If multiple detection parameters (peak value, constant speed value, slope value) are monitored to improve detection accuracy, then the precision of abnormal symptom detection is improved, but the complexity of data collection and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most critical features from the driver operation data: peak values, constant speed values, and their slope changes. By focusing on these specific extracted parameters rather than analyzing all raw data, the system achieves high detection precision while keeping data processing complexity manageable through selective feature extraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms raw driver operation data into meaningful diagnostic parameters by calculating peak values, constant speed values, and their slopes. This parameter transformation converts complex raw data into simplified, interpretable metrics that maintain high detection precision while reducing processing complexity through dimensional reduction.
3Loss of time
If real-time monitoring and comparison of driver parameters is performed to enable early detection, then the response time for maintenance is reduced, but the energy consumption and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs partial monitoring by focusing only on critical moments in the driver cycle (peak value periods and constant speed periods) rather than continuously analyzing all operation phases. This selective monitoring approach enables timely detection of abnormalities while reducing overall computational energy consumption by avoiding redundant analysis of normal operation phases.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a precise predictive maintenance method of a driver and the configuration includes: collecting slope information for a constant speed value between drive periods by connecting the constant speed value in a respective drive period and the constant speed value in a driving state of a driver before a failure of the driver occurs; setting an alarm slope value for the constant speed value between the drive periods based on the collected slope information; and detecting, in a case where an average slope value for the constant speed value between the drive periods measured at a unit time interval set in a real-time driving state of the driver is more than the alarm slope value, the case as an abnormal state of the driver.
