Envelope Analysis & Bearing Faults:
Bearings
are crucial components, and their faults can be catastrophic.
Envelope analysis
demodulates the vibration signal to pinpoint bearing fault frequencies.

Advanced Techniques - Wavelet & Machine Learning :
Wavelet transform decomposes signals into different frequency bands, apt for transient fault
detection. With features extracted, machine learning models, such as SVM and Neural Networks,
classify fault patterns efficiently.

Deep Learning Approach: Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, employs architectures
like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to analyze raw vibration data. This approach is adept at
capturing intricate fault patterns, often missed by traditional methods.
