Abstract: Remaining useful life(RUL) prediction is one essential task of the predictive maintenance system.This paper investigates the latest RUL prediction methods,focusing on direct RUL prediction based on machine learning.Firstly,we describe the four representative machine learning models adopted by the RUL prediction methods,including support vector regression(SVR),multilayer perceptron(MLP),convolutional neural network(CNN),and recurrent neural network(RNN).And then,we give the three primary benchmark datasets and two performance evaluation metrics widely used in RUL prediction.The contribution of this paper is to demonstrate the steps and key technical details of how to build the RUL prediction models over the benchmark dataset(C-MAPSS) provided by NASA.We also compare the performance of these representative prediction models in detail and visually analyze the experimental results.Experimental results show that the performance of SVR with a shallow structure is significantly weaker than those based on deep neural networks.CNN and RNN based models have a solid ability for mining complex feature interaction and temporal feature interaction.Finally,we provide an outlook on the future of predictive maintenance technology and discuss the main challenges.

Key words: Predictive maintenance, Remaining useful life prediction, Machine learning, Support vector regression, Multilayer perceptron, Convolutional neural network, Recurrent neural network
