Predictive maintenance (PdM) is an essential component of modern industrial operations, especially with the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). Traditional PdM relies on either rule-based algorithms or deep learning neural nets to predict downtimes, increasing uptime and productivity. Traditional PdM faces a lot of challenges owing to lack of sufficient high-quality data, leading to a high number of false positives. With the recent advancements in generative AI (GenAI) a new set of enablers have come forward which can enable higher quality PdM models enabled through advanced simulations and synthetic data generation. This paper highlights applications in manufacturing, transportation and energy, showcasing how the integration of GenAI with existing PdM frameworks can help unlock performance and ease adoption of these models. We also discuss specific applications of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and Transformers in PdM.
