PREDICTIVE DEVICE MAINTENANCE

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product for predictive device maintenance, and system for a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. One embodiment may comprise generating a risk score as a weighted measure of input data about an Internet of Things (IoT) device and a frequency of failure of the IoT device, determining an optimal time to trigger a predictive notification pertaining to the IoT device using the risk score, and at the determined optimal time, issuing the predictive notification. The risk score in some embodiments may indicate an estimate of loss of function of the IoT device.
