    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a scheduled maintenance session for a proportional actuator includes transmitting a command signal to a controller of the proportional actuator and generating, using the controller, a drive signal for controlling the proportional actuator using the command signal. The position of a component actuator of the proportional actuator is changed, on the basis of the drive signal, and the position of the component actuator is measured, using a sensor, and a position feedback signal is generated on the basis of the measurement. A condition indicator is estimated, with a processor, using only one of the command signal, the drive signal, or the position feedback signal. A health indicator is estimated, with the processor, using the condition indicator, and a scheduled maintenance session of the proportional actuator is determined, with the processor, using the health indicator.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for determining an auxiliary power unit health indicator. The system may receive at least one field data of an auxiliary power unit, transforming the field data into at least one corrected field data, filtering the at least one corrected field data into at least one filtered field data, calculating at least one offset field data from the at least one filtered field data, determining a health indicator of the auxiliary power unit based on the at least one offset field data, and determining a maintenance procedure for the auxiliary unit based on the health indicator.
