receiving a physical model of an equipment including a brake;
generating simulated data corresponding to braking times for the brake based on the physical model, the simulated data including a plurality of probability distributions of a plurality of degrees of failure, respectively, for at least one failure mode of the brake;
determining a difference between the simulated data for the brake generated based on the physical model and historical data for the brake maintained in a data structure;
receiving sensor data including at least one measured metric indicating a condition of the brake;
normalizing the received sensor data based on the difference between the simulated data and the historical data;
comparing the normalized sensor data with the simulated data to determine a failure mode and a degree of failure of the brake; and
sending a control signal for controlling the equipment based at least in part on the determined failure mode and degree of failure of the brake.

Abstract
In some examples, a computing device may generate simulated data based on a physical model of equipment. For example, the simulated data may include a plurality of probability distributions of a plurality of degrees of failure, respectively, for at least one failure mode of the equipment. In addition, the computing device may receive sensor data indicating a measured metric of the equipment. The computing device may compare the received sensor data with the simulated data to determine a failure mode and a degree of failure of the equipment. At least partially based on the determined failure mode and degree of failure of the equipment, the computing device may send at least one of a notification or a control signal.
