Abstract:
This paper addresses the significant challenge of predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of mechanical equipment, a critical aspect of predictive maintenance and reliability engineering. Traditional deep learning methods in RUL prediction have been hindered by key challenges, including the scarcity of comprehensive lifecycle data, the prevalence of high -frequency noise in sensor readings, and a heavy reliance on supervised learning. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel methodology that synergizes self -supervised and supervised learning. Our approach uniquely leverages non -full lifecycle data abundant in industrial settings, thereby bypassing the limitations posed by data scarcity. The model undergoes a two -stage training process, initially learning from vast quantities of non -full lifecycle data in a self -supervised manner, followed by finetuning in a supervised phase with available full lifecycle data. We employ Contrastive Predictive Coding (CPC) for the encoder and a Transformer -based decoder, a combination adept at extracting low -frequency, significant features from the sensor data and effectively predicting RUL. The paper demonstrates the efficacy of our approach through comprehensive experiments testing on both bearing datasets from experimental setup and wheelset datasets from urban rail train, showing superior or comparable performance against state-of-the-art methods. Our results, supported by ablation studies, suggest the potential robustness and innovative aspects of our model, indicating it could contribute meaningfully to the field of predictive maintenance.
