What is equipment health scoring?

A single 0-100 number aggregating key sensor data like vibration, temperature, and pressure into an intuitive health metric for machinery.

How do I implement equipment health scoring in Python?

Use a weighted formula: normalize sensors to 0-1, multiply by weights (e.g., 0.4 vib, 0.4 temp), scale to 100. Flask endpoint makes it API-ready for dashboards.

Does equipment health scoring need machine learning?

No — rule-based works great for starters. ML can enhance later with failure predictions.
