A TinyML approach to non-repudiable anomaly detection in extreme industrial environments
Abstract
Unforeseen failures of industrial assets may lead to unexpected downtime with a huge impact on critical business processes. Therefore, modern assets usually include several embedded sensors and processing units, allowing to monitor certain operational parameters, i.e., Condition Monitoring. The sensed data can be later analyzed using Machine Learning (ML) approaches to detect anomalies and anticipate failures. Furthermore, the Internet of Things can provide the tools to extend Condition Monitoring to legacy assets that do not have onboard sensing capabilities. In general, these IoT devices offer the opportunity to move ML processing closer to the monitored asset, thus reducing costs and simplifying the anomaly detection system. However, extreme industrial environments present harsh operating conditions and limited resources, further exacerbated by the reduced computation capabilities of most IoT devices. This paper proposes an ML-based anomaly detection system that uses a retrofitting kit based on a constrained and cost-effective IoT device. Despite its limited resources, the latter executes a state-of-the-art unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm locally, autonomously learning the normality behavior of the monitored asset. Furthermore, to improve the transparency of the monitoring process, we propose to leverage blockchain technology as a non-repudiable repository of information, also assessing the impact of such implementation choice in terms of costs and overhead.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
