Industrial machinery is extensively used in modern manufacturing environments, where continuous operation is essential for productivity and safety. However, maintaining equipment reliability remains a major challenge because of unexpected failures, wear, and operational stress. Traditional maintenance methods such as reactive repair and preventive servicing are inefficient and often lead to excessive downtime and cost. This paper proposes a sensor-fusion-based intelligent predictive maintenance system that integrates multi-sensor data and learning-based fault prediction techniques into a unified framework. The system continuously monitors machine opera-tional parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, and load conditions to analyze equipment health in real time. By identifying abnormal behavior and degradation patterns before failure, the proposed system generates automated maintenance alerts and optimization recommendations. Experimental obser-vations indicate that the proposed approach improves machine reliability, reduces downtime, enhances maintenance efficiency, and supports data-driven industrial operations.
