RUL Informed Backordering Strategy Development for Induction Motor Windings

Improving Operational Efficiency, Asset Efficency, and Sustainbility through Development in Induction Motor Windings for the Foundry Sector In industries relying on induction motors, unexpected failures in motor windings can lead to costly downtime. Predictive maintenance strategies, especially Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation, play a crucial role in mitigating these failures. This project focuses on developing a backordering strategy for induction motor windings using RUL predictions, ensuring optimal inventory management for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). By integrating condition monitoring techniques and machine learning models, the proposed approach minimizes unplanned stoppages and reduces operational costs. This research aims to enhance MSME sustainability by providing a data-driven solution for spare part procurement, improving efficiency, and extending motor lifespan.

“MSMEs can embrace Industry 4.0 by integrating predictive maintenance, AI-driven analytics, and IoT-enabled monitoring. Leveraging RUL-based strategies enhances efficiency, minimizes downtime, and optimizes resource utilization. This transformation fosters competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience, ensuring MSMEs thrive in the evolving industrial landscape”
