HUMS 2027 Conference Melbourne

HUMS 2027 is the 15th Defence Science and Technology Group International Conference on Health and Usage Monitoring. The conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia, from 22 to 24 February 2027 as part of AIAC22.

The HUMS conference focuses on condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, signal processing, and data driven diagnostics for aerospace, defence, and mechanical systems.

HUMS 2027 Conference Melbourne brings together researchers, industry, defence organisations, and operators working on health and usage monitoring, reliability, and maintenance of complex engineering systems.

Overview

HUMS 2027 is a leading international conference on health and usage monitoring, with a focus on diagnostics, prognostics, data driven maintenance, and decision support for complex engineering systems.

The conference will be held in Melbourne as part of AIAC22, bringing together experts in vibration analysis, signal processing, machine learning, reliability engineering, sensor systems, digital twins, and condition based maintenance.

HUMS 2027 registration includes access to three conferences under the AIAC22 umbrella:
