Sensor Data for Predictive Maintenance
As a Physics Specialist, I spearheaded the data labeling efforts for a predictive maintenance project involving industrial machinery. My core task was to precisely annotate multi-modal sensor time-series data (e.g., vibration, temperature, pressure, current) to identify and classify various operational states, incipient failure modes, and critical events (e.g., bearing degradation, motor overheating, pump cavitation). I applied my understanding of physical principles to accurately delineate event start/end times and categorize anomalies based on their physical manifestations. The project involved labeling over 10,000 hours of sensor data, with a focus on ensuring high inter-annotator agreement and physical consistency. I developed clear annotation guidelines based on engineering specifications and physics models, leading to a robust dataset that significantly improved the accuracy of the client's machine learning models for anomaly detection and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction.
