Three concrete use-case examples (signals, lead time, actions)

1. Motor bearing faults (manufacturing line)

Signals: vibration RMS and spectral bands, bearing housing temperature. Typical lead time: 1–6 weeks depending on failure mode. Action: schedule bearing replacement in maintenance window; perform grease change or shaft alignment if inspection confirms issue.

2. Centrifugal pump cavitation or bearing wear (water treatment)

Signals: suction/discharge pressure oscillations, vibration spikes, flow fluctuations. Lead time: days to weeks. Action: inspect impeller and bearings, adjust suction conditions, replace worn parts before catastrophic failure.

3. Compressor electrical overloads (HVAC / industrial)

Signals: electrical current trending upward, intermittent current spikes, discharge temperature rise. Lead time: hours to days. Action: schedule inspection for motor winding issues, check cooling, adjust load distribution, and plan maintenance outage if needed.

Why these examples help: they show focused problems with 1–3 signals, clear expected lead times, and straightforward operational actions. Start with similar, well-understood cases rather than broad anomaly detection across many asset classes.
