PREDICTIVE FAILURE SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS

A system, apparatus and method providing a predictive maintenance system for a vehicle comprising a hydrostatic transmission. Sensors are installed on a vehicle to monitor various operating characteristics of a hydrostatic transmission. The sensors generate raw sensor data that is received by an onboard edge processing unit that applies the signals to a neural network model to derive predictions of potential future mechanical failures of the hydrostatic transmission. The inferences and raw sensor data may be sent to a remote data center via a personal communication device associated with the vehicle, to further train the neural network model.
