Centrifugal pumps are critical in industrial operations where unplanned failures can cause costly downtime and safety risks. Traditional maintenance methods often fail to detect early anomalies in vibration, motor current, and seal integrity. This study addresses that gap by developing an IoT-enabled failure detection framework that leverages Delta Lake and Python to enable scalable, real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. The proposed system integrates MEMS accelerometers, SCT 013 current sensors, and leak detection modules through an ESP32 microcontroller, ensuring reliable data acquisition and ACID-compliant storage. Delta Lake facilitates seamless handling of both streaming and batch data while maintaining version control and schema integrity. Experimental validation using real and simulated datasets demonstrates reliable anomaly detection, efficient schema evolution, and resilience under high-frequency sensor loads. The research provides strong quantitative validation that Delta Lake with Python enables 25% less downtime, 30% higher maintenance efficiency and with improved real-time responsiveness (<500 ms), proving Delta Lake as a more robust, scalable, ACID- compliant, and high-performance data framework for IoT- based predictive maintenance in centrifugal pumps compared to traditional formats like Parquet. Overall, this research contributes to enhance Industry 4.0-driven predictive maintenance by integrating dependable IoT sensing with resilient data management and analytics for centrifugal pump monitoring.
