Abstract :
Maintenance and repair tasks that follow established procedures reduce the chances of unexpected failure and the consequent losses in production, time, and money. In some critical cases, failure in a process can cause serious damage or even endanger human lives. We have developed a fuzzy logic system to diagnose the operation of rotating machines and help improve maintenance and repair procedures.
