Fault detection and diagnosis is a systematic process used to identify, locate, and characterize faults or malfunctions in technical systems, such as industrial plants, machines, vehicles, and software-controlled processes. It typically involves continuous monitoring of sensor data, comparing actual behavior with expected models or thresholds, and applying analytical, statistical, or AI-based methods to recognize abnormal conditions. Once a fault is detected, diagnostic algorithms determine its root cause, affected components, and severity. This enables timely maintenance, prevents damage, increases safety, improves reliability, and reduces downtime and operational costs in complex engineered systems.
