Permanent magnet synchronous motors are the dominant technology in industrial applications such as elevator systems. Their unique advantages over induction motors give them higher energy efficiency and significant reduction in energy consumption. Accordingly, the elevator is one of the basic means of comfortable and safe transportation. More generally, in elevator systems, electric motors are characterized by continuous use, increasing the risk of possible failure that may affect the operation of the system and the safety of passengers. The application of appropriate monitoring and artificial intelligence techniques contributes to the predictive maintenance of the motor and drive system. The main objective of this paper is a literature review on the application of modern monitoring methodologies using smart sensors and machine learning algorithms for early fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance generally. Thus, by exploiting the advantages and disadvantages of each method, a technique based on a multi-fault set is developed that can be integrated into an elevator control system offering desired results of immediate predictive maintenance.
