The research progress at home and abroad for equipment reliability assessment of monitoring information was analyzed emphatically. The challenges and development directions of research in equipment reliability assessment driven by health monitoring data were presented. Based on the characteristics and demands of reliability assessment for individual equipment operation and by reviewing the issues of the traditional reliability assessment

the technique intension regarding the equipment operation reliability assessment that directed at health monitoring driven data was pointed out via dynamic modeling and fault mechanism analysis

condition signal processing

and fault feature extraction

which drew forth the unsolved problems in reliability assessment of equipment operation

and finally provided references to further research in intelligent operation maintenance and health management.
