An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Preventive Maintenance Using Reinforcement Learning
Strategic Transformation Towards Adaptive Preventive Maintenance Using AI
INTRODUCTION
Industrial assets naturally deteriorate due to ageing, continuous operation, and varying operating conditions. As a result, maintenance has become a critical determinant of reliability, safety, availability, and cost control. Traditional preventive maintenance approaches, which rely on fixed time-based or usage-based intervals, often fail to reflect the true condition of assets. This can lead to excessive maintenance activities or unexpected failures that disrupt operations.
The Preventive Maintenance Using Reinforcement Learning Course introduces a modern, AI-driven approach that addresses these limitations. By applying Reinforcement Learning (RL), maintenance decisions can be treated as adaptive and sequential, continuously optimised based on real-time asset condition, uncertainty, and operational objectives.
This Preventive Maintenance Training Course presents a model-based reinforcement learning framework that combines learning and planning under imperfect knowledge and partial observability. Participants gain insight into how RL enables maintenance strategies to evolve as new information becomes available, rather than relying on static assumptions.
The course bridges theory and industrial application by demonstrating how advanced AI concepts translate into practical maintenance optimisation. It highlights the integration of digital twins, generative AI, and adaptive learning techniques to support robust decision-making across complex asset portfolios.
Key focus areas include:
- Limitations of traditional preventive and predictive maintenance approaches
- Reinforcement Learning as a decision-making framework for maintenance
- Adaptive optimisation of maintenance actions under uncertainty
- Alignment of maintenance policies with availability, cost, and asset life objectives

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The Preventive Maintenance Using Reinforcement Learning Course is delivered through a structured and concept-driven learning approach that balances theory with industrial relevance. Instructor-led sessions introduce key AI and reinforcement learning concepts in a clear and applied manner.
Industrial case studies drawn from manufacturing, energy, nuclear, and transport sectors are used to illustrate real-world maintenance challenges and AI-driven solutions. Step-by-step framework walkthroughs guide participants through the formulation of maintenance problems using reinforcement learning models.
Conceptual simulations and numerical examples support understanding of learning dynamics, reward structures, and policy optimisation. Group discussions encourage participants to explore governance, scalability, and strategic implications of AI-driven maintenance. Throughout the course, practical mapping ensures a clear link between theoretical models and real asset portfolios.
TRAINING SUMMARY
The Preventive Maintenance Using Reinforcement Learning Course progresses from foundational concepts in AI-enabled preventive maintenance to advanced optimisation under uncertainty. Participants explore how reinforcement learning allows maintenance policies to improve continuously through the interaction of learning and planning.
The course examines how Bayesian inference and partially observable decision models support maintenance decision-making when asset condition information is incomplete. Advanced topics include the use of digital twins to simulate degradation processes and rare failure scenarios, as well as generative AI techniques to address limited historical data.
By the end of this Preventive Maintenance Training Course, participants gain a structured understanding of how adaptive, AI-driven maintenance strategies can reduce downtime, optimise costs, and extend asset life. The course concludes with emerging industry trends and practical roadmaps for transitioning from traditional preventive maintenance to scalable, reinforcement learning-based maintenance systems.
