vikadiagnoosin

Vikadiagnoosin, or fault diagnosis, is a field of control engineering and reliability engineering focused on detecting, isolating, and identifying faults within a system or process. The goal is to determine whether a fault is present, where it is located, what caused it, and how severe it is, enabling timely maintenance and reducing risk.

Two main strands dominate the field: model-based diagnosis and data-driven diagnosis. Model-based approaches use mathematical representations of the system to predict expected behavior and generate residuals; deviations suggest faults. Data-driven methods rely on historical data and machine learning to recognize patterns associated with faults, often without an explicit physical model.

Common techniques include residual generation and hypothesis testing, parity-space and observer-based methods, and Kalman or extended Kalman filters for dynamic systems. Data-driven methods employ neural networks, support vector machines, random forests, and other classifiers. Hybrid approaches combine model-based reasoning with data-driven insights to improve robustness.

Vikadiagnoosin is applied across industries such as process control, manufacturing equipment, energy systems, aviation, automotive diagnostics, and building automation. It supports predictive maintenance, safety assurance, and fault-tolerant control.

Challenges include incomplete or noisy sensor data, multiple simultaneous faults, model inaccuracies, and the need for real-time computation. Data quality, interpretability of results, and maintenance of diagnostic systems are ongoing concerns.

Historically, fault diagnosis has its roots in analytical redundancy and model-based diagnosis developed in the late 20th century, with growing emphasis on data-driven methods in the 2000s and 2010s.
