This example will guide you through the steps of data preparation, model training, and evaluation using Analytiqus, showcasing its robust features for data visualization, feature engineering, and machine learning.

Analytiqus: Business Intelligence Solution

Case Study Overview

Objective: Develop a predictive maintenance model to forecast equipment failures and schedule timely maintenance.

Dataset: Sensor data from industrial machinery, including parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, and operational hours.

Tools Used: Analytiqus for data visualization, feature engineering, machine learning, and optimization.

1. Data Preparation

Step 1: Data Import

Start by importing the dataset into Analytiqus. The data consists of sensor readings and operational metrics for various pieces of equipment. The dataset includes columns such as:

  • Timestamp
  • Temperature
  • Vibration
  • Pressure
  • Operational_Hours
  • Failure_Label (0: No Failure, 1: Failure)

Step 2: Data Cleaning

Use Analytiqus’ data cleaning tools to handle missing values and outliers. This involves:

  • Removing or imputing missing values.
  • Identifying and addressing outliers using statistical methods or visualization techniques.

Step 3: Feature Engineering

Create new features from existing data to improve model performance. In Analytiqus, this can be done using:

  • Feature Creation: Derive features such as rolling averages or cumulative statistics.
  • Feature Selection: Use correlation analysis and feature importance methods to select the most relevant features.

2. Model Training

Step 4: Model Selection

Choose an appropriate machine learning algorithm for predictive maintenance. Common algorithms include:

  • Logistic Regression: For binary classification of failure events.
  • Random Forest: For handling complex interactions and feature importance.
  • Gradient Boosting: For improved accuracy and handling non-linear relationships.

Step 5: Model Training

Train the selected model using Analytiqus’ machine learning module:

  1. Split the Data: Divide the dataset into training and test sets.
  2. Train the Model: Use Analytiqus to train the model on the training set.
  3. Hyperparameter Tuning: Optimize model parameters using grid search or random search.

Step 6: Model Evaluation

Evaluate the model’s performance using various metrics:

  • Accuracy: Proportion of correctly predicted failures.
  • Precision and Recall: To assess the model’s effectiveness in detecting failures.
  • Confusion Matrix: For a detailed breakdown of prediction results.

Analytiqus provides visualization tools to create performance reports and graphical representations of model metrics.

3. Deployment and Visualization

Step 7: Model Deployment

Deploy the trained model within Analytiqus for real-time predictions. This involves:

  • Integrating the model with the sensor data pipeline.
  • Setting up real-time monitoring and prediction dashboards.

Step 8: Visualization and Reporting

Use Analytiqus’ visualization tools to create dashboards that display:

  • Real-Time Predictions: Visualize current equipment status and predicted failure probabilities.
  • Historical Trends: Analyze past data to identify patterns and trends.
  • Alerts and Notifications: Configure notifications based on prediction thresholds.

4. Case Study Example: Predicting Equipment Failure

Here’s a summary of a successful implementation of a predictive maintenance model using Analytiqus:

  • Objective: Predict failures in a manufacturing line to reduce downtime.
  • Data: Sensor readings from temperature, vibration, and pressure sensors.
  • Model: Random Forest classifier.
  • Outcome: Achieved 85% accuracy in predicting failures, reducing unplanned downtime by 30%.
