End-to-end Deep Learning for Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Prognostics

This is like giving a car or engine a brain that learns to “listen” to its own sensors and predict how much life it has left before something fails. Instead of engineers handcrafting dozens of rules and features, the model learns directly from raw sensor data when parts will wear out.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional predictive maintenance models rely on hand‑engineered features and simpler algorithms that often miss subtle patterns, leading to either unexpected failures or overly conservative maintenance schedules. This work uses end-to-end deep learning to automatically learn the best representation of sensor data and deliver more accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) predictions.

Value Drivers

Reduced unplanned downtime by predicting failures earlier and more accuratelyLower maintenance costs through optimized service intervals and part replacementImproved asset utilization and availability of vehicles and fleetsBetter warranty and lifecycle planning due to more accurate degradation modeling

Strategic Moat

Proprietary historical sensor + failure data from vehicle fleets or test benches, and domain-specific degradation modeling know‑how embedded in the architecture and training process.
