Abstract
Estimating the RUL (Remaining Useful Life) of machinery is a useful tool for maintenance and performance operations. This results in lower costs, improved safety and operational improvements.
This paper proposes two adaptations to the CNN-LSTM network provided by Li et al. \cite{Li2019APrediction}, as well as exploring reproducibility, accuracy and sensitivity of the original DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) network. The network at hand is an ensemble network combining LSTM and CNN neural networks to provide an accurate regression RUL prediction using the NASA CMAPSS dataset \cite{NasaNasaReprository}.
The Adaptable Time Window (ATW) adaptation increases the amount of time cycles that can be predicted and increases the accuracy, allowing for earlier predictions and better RUL predictions. Allowing state-of-the-art predictions accuracy for complex datasets. The Sub-network training adaptions did not surpass the accuracy of the original network with the current implementation settings, however is promising for further research.
