  Key Concepts: 
  Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is a term used in SAP's IOT-ASM Asset Strategy and Performance Management component. It is a measure of the amount of time an asset has left before it needs to be replaced or serviced. It is calculated by subtracting the current age of the asset from its expected lifespan.
