Energy storage solutions play an increasingly important role in modern infrastructure and lead-acid batteries are among the most commonly used in the rechargeable category. Due to normal degradation over time, correctly determining the battery's State of Health (SoH) and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) contributes to enhancing predictive maintenance, reliability, and longevity of battery systems. Besides improving the cost savings, correct estimation of the SoH can lead to reduced pollution though reuse of retired batteries. This paper presents a mapping study of the state-of-the-art in machine learning methods for estimating the SoH and RUL of lead-acid batteries. These two indicators are critical in the battery management systems of electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and other applications that rely heavily on this battery technology. In this study, we analyzed the types of machine learning algorithms employed for estimating SoH and RUL, and evaluated their performance in terms of accuracy and inference time. Additionally, this mapping identifies and analyzes the most commonly used combinations of sensors in specific applications, such as vehicular batteries. The mapping concludes by highlighting potential gaps and opportunities for future research, which lays the foundation for further advancements in the field.

With the support of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it is possible to acquire data from degradation phenomena and design data-driven models to perform anomaly detection in industrial equipment. This approach not only identifies potential anomalies but can also serve as a first step toward building predictive maintenance policies. In this work, we demonstrate a novel anomaly detection system on induction motors used in pumps, compressors, fans, and other industrial machines. This work evaluates a combination of pre-processing techniques and machine learning (ML) models with a low computational cost. We use a combination of pre-processing techniques such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Wavelet Transform (WT), and binning, which are well-known approaches for extracting features from raw data. We also aim to guarantee an optimal balance between multiple conflicting parameters, such as anomaly detection rate, false positive rate, and inference speed of the solution. To this end, multiobjective optimization and analysis are performed on the evaluated models. Pareto-optimal solutions are presented to select which models have the best results regarding classification metrics and computational effort. Differently from most works in this field that use publicly available datasets to validate their models, we propose an end-to-end solution combining low-cost and readily available IoT sensors. The approach is validated by acquiring a custom dataset from induction motors. Also, we fuse vibration, temperature, and noise data from these sensors as the input to the proposed ML model. Therefore, we aim to propose a methodology general enough to be applied in different industrial contexts in the future.
