Deep learning predicts network hardware failure using thermal imaging and sensor fusion

Researchers have developed a deep learning strategy for predictive maintenance of network hardware, utilizing thermal imaging and power sensor data. The study evaluated several models, including ResNet-50, InceptionV3, and VGG16, alongside a CNN-LSTM fusion model. Performance significantly improved with domain-specific pre-processing, such as region-of-interest extraction, boosting ResNet-50 accuracy to 91%. The CNN-LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy of 94%, demonstrating the effectiveness of fusing visual and sensor time-series information for proactive hardware maintenance. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable data center operations through proactive maintenance, reducing downtime and costs.
