RESUMO
The Industrial Internet of Things has enabled the integration and analysis of vast volumes of data across various industries, with the maritime sector being no exception. Advances in cloud computing and deep learning (DL) are continuously reshaping the industry, particularly in optimizing maritime operations such as Predictive Maintenance (PdM). In this study, we propose a novel DL-based framework focusing on the fault detection task of PdM in marine operations, leveraging time-series data from sensors installed on shipboard machinery. The framework is designed as a scalable and cost-efficient software solution, encompassing all stages from data collection and pre-processing at the edge to the deployment and lifecycle management of DL models. The proposed DL architecture utilizes Graph Attention Networks (GATs) to extract spatio-temporal information from the time-series data and provides explainable predictions through a feature-wise scoring mechanism. Additionally, a custom evaluation metric with real-world applicability is employed, prioritizing both prediction accuracy and the timeliness of fault identification. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, we conduct experiments on three types of open-source datasets relevant to PdM: electrical data, bearing datasets, and data from water circulation experiments.
