IoT Asset Maintenance Dashboard

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/xingmu.li3903/viz/AssetMaintenanceStatusIOT/DUM0_Home
I contributed to the IoT asset maintenance dashboard. This project has three objectives:
• Monitor the maintenance situation and time spent each month in the past to see if the asset is maintained stably.
• Prioritize the asset with a short operation time that allows all assets to be used.
• Predict the asset that needs maintenance next month so that the material can be prepared in advance.
