The model processes the input data and outputs the fault prediction results. The model predicts the remaining life of each key component of the crane based on the input data to help operators perform preventive maintenance. Step 4: Fault prediction and remaining life prediction: The convolutional neural network model identifies potential fault signs in the current operating data and generates a fault prediction report. Based on historical data and current operating status, the model predicts the remaining service life of key components and generates a life prediction report.
