Fault prediction based upon deep learning algorithms has great potential in industrial automation: By automatically adapting to different usage contexts, it would greatly expand the usefulness of current predictive maintenance solutions. However, restrictions regarding the centralized accumulation of data necessary for such automatic adaption call for a distributed approach to training these algorithms. Therefore, in this paper, a continual learning based algorithm for fault prediction is presented, allowing for distributed, cooperative learning by elastic weight consolidation. This algorithm is then evaluated on a large NASA turbofan engine dataset and shows promising results regarding the performant training on decentral sub-datasets for industrial automation scenarios.
