Technical Talk on “From Reactive Maintenance to Predictive Intelligence: Applying AI and Machine Learning for Engineering Asset Failure” by Dr. Atanu Talukdar of ABB Innovation Center, India
ONLINE over VC ODISHA, ODISHA, IndiaDATE:14th Aug 2026 SPEAKER Dr. Atanu Talukdar of ABB Innovation Center Topic: From Reactive Maintenance to Predictive Intelligence: Applying AI and Machine Learning for Engineering Asset Failure ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are driving a new era of innovation across engineering and technology. One of their most impactful applications is in the predictive maintenance of engineering assets, where data-driven insights can significantly improve reliability, availability, and operational efficiency. Traditional maintenance strategies are typically either reactive, where maintenance is performed after a failure, or preventive, where maintenance is scheduled at fixed intervals. While these approaches are widely used, they can lead to unexpected downtime, reduced equipment performance, and unnecessary maintenance costs due to over-servicing. Predictive Maintenance offers a smarter alternative. By leveraging AI and ML techniques, the future health and remaining useful life of equipment can be estimated, enabling maintenance to be performed only when needed and before critical failures occur. This technical talk will introduce the fundamentals of AI and Machine Learning, including key learning paradigms and their practical applications. It will also explore emerging developments in the field, including the rise of Generative AI, and discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of engineering analytics. The concepts will be illustrated through a real-world case study involving the failure prediction and life estimation of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) used in wind turbine power converters. The presentation will cover the wind turbine system, the mechanisms leading to IGBT degradation, and the application of multiple AI/ML techniques for failure prediction and remaining life assessment. The session will demonstrate how modern AI-driven approaches can transform maintenance from a reactive activity into a proactive strategy, improving asset reliability while reducing operational costs.
