Abstract

Unplanned machine downtime in manufacturing facilities leads to significant production losses, rising maintenance costs, and occupational safety risks. This study compares two hybrid deep learning architectures—Convolutional Neural Network–Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network–Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN-GRU) —for monthly fault frequency prediction using an eight-year operational dataset from the CLKKSM facility. One-dimensional convolutional layers extract local temporal features from the raw time series, which are subsequently encoded by recurrent cells to capture long-range dependencies. Both models were trained on historical data and validated on a held-out period, then evaluated against actual fault events in early 2026. CNN-LSTM consistently outperformed CNN-GRU across all error metrics on the out-of-sample test set. The performance gap is attributed to the four-gate memory mechanism of LSTM, which models medium- and long-range temporal dependencies more effectively than the two-gate GRU structure. Building on CNN-LSTM forecasts, a three-phase predictive maintenance action plan was developed for the April–December 2026 period, incorporating machine-level priority classification, risk-stratified schedules, and trackable Key Performance Indicator (KPI) targets. The proposed methodology bridges the gap between model outputs and field implementation, offering a transferable framework for data-driven predictive maintenance in industrial settings.
