PREDICTIVE TOOL CONDITION MONITORING USING INDUSTRIAL IOT AND MULTI-SENSOR DATA FUSION

Abstract

Tool condition monitoring is essential for ensuring machining quality, production efficiency, equipment reliability, and manufacturing sustainability in modern smart factories. Conventional tool monitoring techniques rely on periodic inspections or singlesensor measurements that often fail to capture the complex behavior of machining processes. This paper proposes a predictive tool condition monitoring framework integrating Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), multi-sensor data fusion, machine learning, predictive analytics, cloud manufacturing, and intelligent decision support for real-time monitoring of machining systems. The proposed methodology combines vibration, cutting force, acoustic emission, temperature, spindle power, and tool displacement measurements to accurately predict tool health and remaining useful life. Adaptive predictive maintenance and intelligent process control enable timely intervention before catastrophic tool failure occurs. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improvements in prediction accuracy, machining stability, tool utilization, maintenance scheduling, production efficiency, and operational reliability. The proposed framework provides a scalable, intelligent, and Industry 4.0-ready solution for predictive tool condition monitoring in advanced manufacturing environments.
