given run to failure measurements of various sensors on a sample of similar jet engines, estimate the remaining useful life (RUL) of a new jet engine that has measurements of the same sensor for a period of time equal to its current operational time.

Predicting Turbofan Remaining Useful Life (RUL)

the project main theme is to develop a model to perform predictive maintenance on a jet engine. the predictive maintenance approach used here is data-driven, meaning that data collected from the operational jet engine is used to perform predictive maintenance modeling. to be specific, the project aim is to build a predictive model to estimate the Remaining Useful Life ( RUL) of a jet engine based on run-to-failure data of a fleet of similar jet engines

Installation

There should be no necessary libraries to run the code here beyond the Anaconda distribution of Python. The code should run with no issues using Python versions 3.*.

Project Motivation

my motivation behind this small project is to enhance my capability in making models that can be used in predictive maintenance.

File Descriptions

The jupyter notebook available here contains the modeling and data exploration Data folder contains the datasets

Results

the main findings of the code can be found at the Medium post available here.
