What this was

Vibration and temperature sensors on 14 presses, feeding models simple enough for the plant team to maintain without data science support. The team is candid that early false alarms nearly ended the project.

Trigger
Unplanned press downtime was the biggest line-stopper
Approach
Thresholds plus gradient boosting, deliberately simple
Measured by
Unplanned downtime hours, verified with finance
Reusable
Yes, the approach transfers to any rotating asset
