Vibration in rotating and reciprocating machines and structures will likely increase with machine age and prolong machine usage. Thus, converting such a threat to machines for an opportunity in innovative energy harvesting is a unique advantage to industrial decision-makers. This study optimises the energy harvesting parameters of a piezoelectric cantilever-based system using the Box Behnken Design (BBD) Methodology to provide a sustainable solution for energy conversion using piezoelectric materials. Literature data that distinguishes the important parameters of the systems as follows was considered: Load resistance, width of piezo-plate and length of the piezo plate. A comprehensive analysis of the parameters and responses of the optimum scheme is presented. The feasibility of applying the Box Behnken design as a response surface approach was ascertained. BBD approximates the process parameters as a quadratic function and uses blocks to explain results. The current research offers evidence of the optimization behaviour of the piezoelectric cantilever-based energy harvester, impacting the conversion of the negative aspect of vibrations into a positive form for industrial equipment sustainability. The results emphasise the urgent need for interventions and policies to improve industrial management.
