Machine learning models deployed in sensor-based production environments are prone to performance degradation due to evolving data distributions, commonly known as data drift. In gas sensor systems, such drift often arises from environmental variability and sensor aging, which can significantly reduce predictive reliability if left unaddressed. This study presents an integrated Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) framework that combines performance monitoring, distribution-based drift detection, and adaptive retraining within a unified production pipeline. Experiments are conducted using the Gas Sensor Array Drift Dataset, organized into sequential batches to emulate real-world deployment conditions. Data drift is quantified using Population Stability Index (PSI) and Kullback–Leibler Divergence (KL), which serve as decision thresholds for triggering retraining. The proposed adaptive retraining strategy is systematically compared with baseline (no retraining) and periodic retraining approaches. The results indicate that the adaptive strategy maintains more stable performance across data batches while minimizing unnecessary retraining processes. Additionally, the use of containerization and experiment tracking ensures reproducibility and supports full lifecycle traceability. Overall, this study demonstrates that integrating MLOps practices into sensor-based machine learning systems is essential for improving robustness and ensuring long-term operational sustainability in dynamic environments.
