Predictive Maintenance Final Year Projects 2026
Predictive maintenance (PdM) estimates remaining useful life and detects degradation so interventions happen before failure. Student projects typically combine sensor time series, feature engineering (time / frequency domain) and models ranging from XGBoost to LSTM/CNN, evaluated with RMSE, MAE and PHM-style scores on benchmarks such as NASA C-MAPSS.
Tools: PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, XGBoost, vibration analysis (FFT, wavelets), and public datasets (C-MAPSS, PHM data challenges).
