Abstract

Predictive maintenance has emerged as a new method to smart manufacturing, allowing firms to forsake reactive and preventative approaches to equipment management based on data analysis. The current study conducts a thorough analysis of digital twin and ML technologies, which jointly aid in the prediction of remaining useful life, defect identification, and anomaly detection in a variety of industrial contexts. Machine learning techniques are scalable, adaptable in nature, and digital twins enable the building of synchronized virtual models that represent the behavior of the physical assets continually delivering real-time information about the deterioration trends, and available systems behavior. Integration of these technologies will facilitate better reliability, less downtime and better use of resources. Nonetheless, literature shows that there are several difficulties such as the inconsistency of sensor data, constraints of the heterogeneous systems interoperability, and issues of model interpretability and industrial implementation. The review notes a necessity of more integrative frameworks that would combine multi-source industrial information with dynamic and continuously learning models. By combining the current advancements, limitations, and implementation gaps, this study will provide a thorough understanding of how predictive maintenance is evolving in smart manufacturing. It also recognizes new opportunities of more autonomous, intelligent, and resilient maintenance ecosystems that can sustain future Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 ecosystems.
