Consultation on Industrial Machine Faults with Large language Models

Abstract: Industrial machine fault diagnosis is a critical component of operational efficiency and safety in manufacturing environments. Traditional methods rely heavily on expert knowledge and specific machine learning models, which can be limited in their adaptability and require extensive labeled data. This paper introduces a novel approach leveraging LLMs, specifically through a structured multi-round prompting technique, to improve fault diagnosis accuracy. By dynamically crafting prompts, our method enhances the model's ability to synthesize information from diverse data sources, leading to improved contextual understanding and actionable recommendations. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms baseline models, achieving an accuracy of 91% in diagnosing various fault types. The findings underscore the potential of LLMs in revolutionizing industrial fault consultation practices, paving the way for more effective maintenance strategies in complex environments.
