The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) brought significant changes in manufacturing, driven by technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, robotics, and big data analytics. For industries to remain competitive, the primary goals must be the improvement of the efficiency and safety of machinery, the reduction of production costs, and the enhancement of product quality. Predictive maintenance (PdM) utilizes historical data and AI models to diagnose equipment’s health and predict the remaining useful life (RUL), providing critical insights for machinery effectiveness and product manufacturing. This prediction is a critical strategy to maximize the useful life of equipment, especially in large-scale and important infostructures. This study focuses on developing an unsupervised machine state-classification solution utilizing real-world industrial measurements collected from a pneumatic pressing machine. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) models were tested to diagnose and output the working state of the pressing machine at each given point (offline, idle, pressing, defective). Our research contributes to extracting valuable insights regarding real-world industrial settings for PdM and production efficiency using unsupervised ML, promoting operation safety, cost reduction, and productivity enhancement in modern industries.
