Hybrid Deep Learning for Real-Time Fault Detection in Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors

This is like putting a smart stethoscope on an electric motor that listens to it while it runs and instantly tells you if something is starting to go wrong inside, before it breaks down.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Unplanned motor failures in production lines and electric drives cause downtime, safety risks, and maintenance costs. The framework detects early-stage faults in squirrel-cage induction motors in real time so maintenance can be scheduled before breakdowns occur.

Value Drivers

Reduced unplanned downtime of production lines and electric drivetrainsLower maintenance and replacement costs via predictive/condition-based maintenanceImproved equipment lifespan by catching faults earlyHigher safety and lower risk of catastrophic motor failuresBetter overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and asset utilization

Strategic Moat

High-quality labeled motor fault data, model know-how for specific motor types and operating regimes, and integration with existing control/SCADA systems form the moat. Once integrated into plant workflows, switching costs become high due to retraining and recertification needs.
