Y. Shams Department of System Programming, South Ural State University, 454080 Chelyabinsk, Russia Mostafa Abotaleb machinery enterprises can benefit greatly from including energy efficiency models into their energy management and conservation efforts. Due to a lack of theoretical formulations, this paper integrates machining parameters and configuration parameters into energy efficiency models, with ML methods applied to increase generality. A three-year data set from a manufacturing facility serves as the basis for a comparison examination of two scenarios, with an emphasis on evaluating forecast precision, stability, and computing efficiency. To estimate future energy efficiency in Scenario 1, only cross-sectional data is utilized, completely discounting the wear and tear on spindle motors and cutting tools. In this study, we use five error measures to compare and contrast three classic ML algorithms: artificial neural networks, support vector regression, and Gaussian process regression. In Case 2, we build the a voting ensemble model in a more realistic setting, taking into account the dynamic characteristics of the aging spindle motor and tool wear. It is clear from the comparison that all of the Case 1 models experience performance erosion, but the proposed voting ensemble model is able to produce a sustainable increase in accuracy. 2022 2022 27 35 10.54216/JAIM.020103 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/28/show/1446
