AI in Manufacturing: Predictive Maintenance and Alerts

This hands-on, project-based course teaches you how to predict machine failures before they happen by combining machine learning with real-time, no-code automation. You'll move from the business case for predictive maintenance — the crippling cost of unplanned downtime and why reactive maintenance is broken — through the sensor data and failure signatures that make prediction possible, and into a plain-English primer on the ML models behind it all, with no heavy maths required. In two guided hands-on sessions, you'll build and train a Random Forest failure-detection model in Google Colab on the AI4I 2020 dataset, then wire it into a live n8n workflow that simulates sensor data, calls your model's API, routes decisions with an IF node, and fires real email alerts the moment a failure is predicted. You'll finish by exploring real deployment challenges — sensor drift, alert fatigue, and ERP/CMMS integration — and preview where to go next, from binary "will it fail?" detection to RUL regression that answers "when will it fail?". The course spans 3 hours total: 100 minutes of theory, 60 minutes of hands-on building, and a 20-minute wrap-up.This hands-on, project-based course teaches you how to predict machine failures before they happen by combining machine learning with real-time, no-code automation.
