data from the machinery in order to predict and prevent the potential failures in
them. The occurrence of failures in the machinery can be costly and even
catastrophic. In order to avoid them, there needs to be a system which analyzes the
behavior of the machine and provides alarms and instructions for preventive
maintenance. Analyzing the behavior of the machines has become possible by means of
advanced sensors, data collection systems, data storage/transfer capabilities and
data analytic tools developed for such purpose. More information on the related
data analytic tools can be found in prognostics. The aggregation of data
collection, storage, transformation, analysis and decision making for smart
maintenance is called an intelligent maintenance system (IMS).
