What is equipment health scoring?

A single 0-100 number aggregating key sensor data like temp, vibration, pressure—with weights—for quick equipment status.

How to implement equipment health scoring in Python?

Use a Flask endpoint: normalize metrics, apply weights (e.g., 0.4 vib, 0.4 temp), scale to 100. Integrate with Node-RED or Grafana.

For most factories, yes—simpler, actionable now, no drift. ML for predictions; this for daily ops.
