Digital Twin-Driven Bearing-Fault Detection in Induction Motor and Drives using Graph Sampling and Aggregation Network

Abstract

Bearing fault diagnosis is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of industrial systems, particularly in preventing operational failures and maintaining product quality. Traditional signal processing methods and deep learning algorithms, while useful, often overlook the complex structural relationships within sensor data, limiting their diagnostic effectiveness. To address this, we present a novel Digital Twin-Driven Fault Diagnosis Framework that integrates graph-based learning techniques with advanced signal analysis. Our approach employs XGBoost and GraphSAGE embeddings to capture both spatial and temporal correlations within the current signals. The raw sensor data is then processed using a sliding window technique and time-frequency domain features are extracted then transformed into a graph structure that represents the intricate relationship in the signal. GraphSAGE is then applied to these graph structures, generating embeddings that enhance fault detection accuracy. Additionally, XGBoost is utilized for classification, improving the overall robustness of the system. The proposed method, deployed on edge devices, delivers real-time diagnostics, providing a scalable and efficient solution for industrial applications. Experimental results using real-world datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms, improving detection accuracy and Area under the curve (AUC) scores up to 97% and 99%, respectively.
