A systematic review of 102 articles identifies and categorizes the current landscape of Explainable Predictive Maintenance (XPM), detailing methods, challenges, and opportunities to foster trust and understanding in AI-driven maintenance for critical industrial systems. It reveals a clear increase in XPM research since 2017, with a slight preference for post-hoc Explainable AI over intrinsically interpretable machine learning.

Key insights

  • The field of Explainable Predictive Maintenance (XPM) is experiencing rapid growth, with a clear increasing trajectory in publications, especially since 2017, driven by the deployment of complex AI in critical industrial settings.
  • Post-hoc Explainable AI (XAI) methods are slightly more popular than intrinsically Interpretable Machine Learning (iML) methods in XPM, reflecting a tendency to apply explanations to high-performing black-box models.
  • Anomaly Detection is the most frequent PdM task utilizing XAI and iML, with XAI often preferred for prognosis and iML showing stronger interest in fault diagnosis.
