Background: The development of industrial technology in the Industry 4.0 era has encouraged the implementation of intelligent monitoring systems to improve machine reliability and operational efficiency. However, machine fault diagnosis systems based on artificial intelligence often face limitations in terms of interpretability because the models used are complex and difficult to explain. Objective: This study aims to develop a deep learning-based industrial machine fault diagnosis system integrated with an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approach to improve diagnostic accuracy while providing interpretable insights for users. Method: The research method involves collecting data from industrial machine sensors consisting of vibration signals, temperature measurements, and acoustic signals, followed by data preprocessing and feature extraction processes.

Model performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Results: The results indicate that the proposed deep learning model achieves better performance compared to conventional machine learning methods such as Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. Furthermore, the explainability analysis reveals that vibration amplitude, increases in machine component temperature, and anomalies in acoustic signals are the main factors influencing machine fault detection. Therefore, the proposed system not only improves the accuracy of machine fault diagnosis but also provides transparency in the decision-making process, thereby supporting the implementation of predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing environments.

Mining operations rely heavily on the performance and reliability of heavy equipment used in the production process. One of the most important hauling units in open-pit mining is the dump truck, which functions to transport overburden and coal from the mining front to disposal areas. Due to high operational intensity, dump trucks require effective maintenance management to ensure equipment reliability and reduce unexpected downtime. However, maintenance activities are often carried out based only on routine service schedules without analytical planning based on historical data. This study aims to analyze the implementation of forecasting methods in maintenance management to improve the effectiveness of dump truck maintenance planning in mining operations. The research was conducted during field work practice at PT Putra Perkasa Abadi Jobsite BIB, Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan. The data used were historical maintenance records of dump truck units obtained from the maintenance department. The research method used a quantitative approach with time series forecasting analysis to identify maintenance patterns and estimate future maintenance needs. The results show that forecasting-based maintenance planning can help companies predict maintenance requirements more accurately and prepare maintenance resources more efficiently. Furthermore, the implementation of forecasting methods can reduce unexpected equipment failures and support operational efficiency in mining activities.

This study aims to analyze production performance and the factors influencing the productivity of mining operations at PT. XYZ during August 2025. The evaluation covers production achievement against the corporate work plan (RKAP) and the owner’s operational plan, equipment availability (Physical Availability), the productivity of loading and hauling units, and various types of loss time that reduce effective working hours. The results indicate that production realization reached only 65% of the RKAP target, while achieving 102% of the owner’s plan for total material. Low equipment availability, high loss time such as no hauler, wait operator, and front preparation, as well as the underperformance of 80-ton and 100-ton units, were identified as the main contributors to production deviation. Additional influencing factors include unit reassignment, suboptimal haul road conditions, and insufficient operational fleet numbers. The study recommends optimizing fleet management, enhancing preventive and predictive maintenance programs, reorganizing hauling workflows, and controlling dominant loss time sources to improve operational efficiency and production target achievement in future periods.

Additionally, the integration of the LCC algorithm allows for more accurate maintenance cost estimation, supporting technical and strategic decision-making. This study demonstrates that ICMMS based on LCC can be an innovative digital solution to enhance MRO effectiveness and operational readiness of non-aviation defense vehicles in Indonesia. It is expected that this system will improve the resilience and cost-effectiveness of managing Indonesia’s military vehicle fleet.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of implementing predictive maintenance (PdM) on the final drive components of the Komatsu PC200-8 unit at PT. Antareja Mahada Makmur, Site PT. Multi Harapan Utama, East Kalimantan, in an effort to reduce downtime and operational losses. Before the implementation of PdM in 2022, there were 12 repair cases for the final drive with a total downtime of 772.1 hours, repair costs amounting to IDR 310.6 million, rental income loss of IDR 208.03 million, and total losses of IDR 518.63 million. In 2023, during the PdM transition phase, the number of cases decreased to 4, with a total loss of IDR 252.05 million, although downtime remained high (714.6 hours) due to the limited scope of PdM implementation on certain units and components.

The cost of PdM implementation for the year was only IDR 21.9 million. As of July 2025, no further damage to the final drive has been recorded, demonstrating a significant improvement in equipment reliability. The reduction in total losses from 2022 to 2024 amounted to IDR 472.88 million, indicating PdM’s effectiveness in avoiding significant costs through condition monitoring methods such as oil analysis, magnetic plug rating, thermal inspection, and oil leak testing (floating seal). The findings of this study confirm that PdM is effective in reducing downtime, repair costs, and enhancing asset management in the mining sector. It also improves equipment reliability and overall operational efficiency, proving PdM to be a successful strategy in reducing losses, increasing productivity, and supporting the sustainability of company operations.

The reliability of generator units is a key element in maintaining stable energy distribution. However, the high frequency of sudden generator failures poses serious challenges, such as increased downtime and increased maintenance costs. To address these challenges, this study aims to design a generator maintenance prediction model based on the Naive Bayes algorithm with a predictive maintenance approach. This study uses historical maintenance data and key sensor parameters such as temperature, oil pressure, and vibration as input. The data is analyzed through several stages, namely data preprocessing, selection of relevant features, and labeling generator conditions into three categories: Normal, Warning, and Critical. The Naive Bayes model is trained to classify the data probabilistically to generate predictions of future generator conditions.
