Problem the AI is intended to solve

Advance Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) Maintenance Operating Reporter (ARMOR) project provides predictive maintenance of RPMs, detecting issues with the equipment before the issue causes the screening lane to be inoperable

Expected benefits

ARMOR will shorten time to service/repair/maintenance of radiation portal monitors by two weeks. ARMOR will allow better distribution of resources (travel, spare parts, etc.) and expected cost decrease could be 25-50%. Through decreased outage time, and prediction of equipment degradation, ARMOR will increase radiological/nuclear (R/N) security on US borders.

System outputs

The system will provide a listing of malfunctioning RPMs categorized by issue severity and predicted date of failure. The outputs will be used to create service tickets.
