Thesis: Machinery Guardian: Optimizing Maintenance with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy
Field study: unsupervised autonomous maintenance system applied for eight months,
integrated with the ERP, to a bag-making machine at a plastics manufacturer in Rio
Grande do Norte. Breakdowns fell from 18 to about 3 per month, monthly spare-parts
cost dropped by 50%, and the average inspection took 13 minutes against 248 minutes
of downtime per breakdown.
Extracurricular: separate research project (2021–2023, coordinated by Prof. Efrain
Pantaleón Matamoros) on unsupervised autonomous maintenance for wind turbine
gearboxes using SOM neural networks, with field work carried out at
ABS Wind do Brasil.
