The concept of the creation of universal smart machines for power systems and critical infrastructure is discussed herein in terms of digital economy requirements. The functional requirements for a universal smart machine for sustainable energy systems are systematized based on a comparative analysis of technology. The requirements determine the approaches to the implementation of software, hardware and design solutions that provide diagnostics and monitoring of the energy state of infrastructures, systems for individual and collective power supply, life support systems of buildings, the state of household appliances, IoT devices, and devices of the housing and utilities sector. The recommendations on the constructive implementation of smart machines are given, making it possible to improve the existing approaches to quality assessment of the services provided in the energy industry. The concept of universal smart machines opens up the opportunities to increase the efficiency of providing the industry and households with a new type of information management services in the field of control over energy infrastructure as one of the main components of the digital economy.
One of the most important problems of creating new and also modernizing and operating the existing industrial equipment is to provide it with technical diagnostic tools. In modern systems, most diagnostic problems are solved by vibration monitoring methods, and they form the basis of this process. For several years already, when creating new responsible equipment, many manufacturers have completed it with monitoring and diagnostic systems, often integrating them functionally with automatic control systems. This paper discusses the methods of servicing industrial equipment, focusing on predictive maintenance, also known as actual maintenance (maintenance according to the actual technical condition).The rationale for the use of wireless systems for data collection and processing is presented. The principles of constructing wireless sensor networks and the data transmission protocols used to collect statistical information on the state of the elements of industrial equipment, depending on the field of application, are analyzed. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the feasibility of using wireless sensor networks as technical diagnostic tools from both economic and technical points of view. The result is the proposed concept of the predictive maintenance system. The paper substantiates the model of optimization of predic-tive repair using wireless sensor networks. This approach is based on minimizing the costs of maintenance of equipment. The presented concept of a system of predictive maintenance on the basis of sensor networks allows real-time analysis of the state of equipment. The approach allows implementing smart management of technologies in companies for ensuring stability of functioning.
The work considers the stages of design and operation of the information expert system of predictive maintenance analytical support of industrial equipment exemplifi ed by vacuum devices. Special attention was paid to the study of the methods of maintenance of the equipment and also to the development of a concept of a modern system of predictive maintenance. The formalization of the test system of predictive maintenance was performed in the package MS Excel using the programming language Visual Basic for Applications. The result of work is the development of an automated expert system of analysis of the methods and means of predictive maintenance of vacuum devices. The particular results were obtained with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation within the project of the Agreement No. 14.579.21.0142 UID RFMEFI57917X0142.
