A data-driven artificial intelligence approach to predict the remaining useful life of Neuero grain unloaders in Khuzestan ports

This study aims to enhance equipment management in grain unloading operations at Khuzestan Ports in Iran by predicting the remaining useful life of electric motors used in grain suction systems (neuero). Utilizing LSTM models in conjunction with environmental factors, this research minimizes unexpected costs associated with equipment failures and reduces downtime in unloading and loading processes. Real-world data from Khuzestan ports demonstrates the high accuracy of the LSTM model in predicting failures. The findings support proactive maintenance strategies, thereby improving efficiency and reliability in the port and maritime industry. While challenges such as limited data, incomplete coverage of environmental factors, and reliance on deep learning models exist, this study provides a foundation for future research on optimizing maintenance and management of neuero electric motors in bulk vessels.
