How much useful life remains, and how uncertain is that estimate?
An engine-held-out remaining-useful-life model that combines multiscale sensor features, calibrated uncertainty, driver proxies, and a transparent maintenance-cost scenario.

Business problem
A point prediction makes maintenance look precise when the model is not. One number carries no window, no evidence and no cost, so the same figure is used to justify stripping a healthy machine and to justify running a failing one.
Techniques used
- Multiscale rolling sensor features
- Extra Trees ensemble
- Engine-level train/calibration/test split
- Finite-sample split-conformal interval and cost scenario
What the workflow can improve
- Estimate remaining useful life with uncertainty
- Show risk progression and sensor drivers
- Compare planned and failure exposure
- Create a path to asset-specific maintenance policy
From demonstration to production
Replace the proxy with the customer’s operating evidence.
The production path begins with a bounded workflow scan, source and permission mapping, baseline measurement, user and administrator roles, and an explicit decision owner. The public technique is reusable; the customer’s rules, costs, constraints, and outcomes must be validated.
What this runs on
- The data is public or fully synthetic.
- Impact figures are modelled from that dataset, with the model shown.
- The interface is a working demonstration of the method.
- Consequential decisions retain an accountable human owner.
