Planned topics & work in progress

These topics are separate from completed findings. Each status reflects the work actually performed.

S14 / Manufacturing

Maintenance warnings without an alarm flood

A maintenance team needs warnings early enough to schedule work, with few false alarms. Compare interpretable vibration change detection against an unsupervised anomaly model across independent bearing experiments.

Planned topic

Proposed design & source

Spectral features; control charts; change-point detection

Extract spectral-band energy, envelope features and robust distribution summaries from vibration windows. Define an early-run reference period explicitly rather than assuming verified healthy labels. Compare robust control charts/change-point methods with a compact anomaly detector and enforce an alarm-persistence rule.

Evaluation: Keep complete experiments or bearings together and show leave-run-out results wherever the small number of runs allows. Report time before documented failure, false alarms per operating hour and sensitivity to window length. Bootstrap by run only when meaningful; emphasize per-run results over spurious narrow intervals.

Boundary: A few laboratory failures cannot establish fleet-wide reliability. The onset of degradation is not fully labeled; maintenance savings and the effect of a repair policy require explicit simulation or prospective data.

Remaining useful life with decisions that acknowledge uncertainty

A fleet planner must choose when to replace an asset when failure timing is uncertain. Test whether calibrated remaining-life distributions improve a simulated replacement policy relative to point estimates.

Planned topic

Proposed design & source

Degradation modeling; quantile sequences; asymmetric decision loss

Use engine-level C-MAPSS train/test partitions and preserve operating-condition subsets. Compare an engineered degradation-index baseline, boosted quantile regression and one sequence model. Make remaining-life label capping and sensor normalization explicit, including ablations.

Evaluation: Report engine-level RUL error, the benchmark's asymmetric score and interval coverage by operating condition and life stage. Test an unseen-condition subset. Simulate replacement using only sequentially available measurements and compare fixed-age, point-estimate and uncertainty-aware rules.

Boundary: C-MAPSS is simulator-generated. Both asset behavior and the policy economics must be labeled as simulation; no real fleet savings or safety validation are established.
