TITLE: Hard Disk Drive Prognostics for Holistic Lifecycle Management of Personal Computers via Embedded Sensors
SPEAKER: Associate Professor Sagar Kamarthi
ABSTRACT:
This talk presents a vision for holistic product lifecycle management via embedded sensors. The main goal of the proposed product monitoring framework is to cut down the product repair/service costs, boost the recovery of end-of-life products, and curtail the product disposal rate. The talk focuses on personal computers to demonstrate the approach; however the concepts and methods presented herein are equally applicable to a wide variety of consumer products. It is in this context that the talk presents the technical details of the hard disk drive prognostics and a novel feature extraction method through discrete wavelet transforms.
