Modern electric powertrain components generate extensive data, which can be logged by the machine control units and used for predictive maintenance. For example, inverters typically offer a vast number of signals for analysis, and battery management systems provide detailed information on battery status and health. However, expertise is required to collect and analyze this data effectively. Scheduling planned maintenance before a machine breaks down, while at the same time avoiding unnecessary maintenance, brings direct valuable benefits for the end users, machine owners and OEMs.
