Deep reinforcement learning based preventive maintenance policy for serial production lines

作者:

Highlights:

• Apply a state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithm to the PM problem.

• Formulate the PM problem as an MDP with guidance of domain knowledge.

• Use a data-driven modeling method to build a fast simulator for learning.

• The DRL agent learns to perform group maintenance and opportunistic maintenance.

• Proposed method outperforms age-dependent policy and opportunistic policy.
