Abstract

Predictive maintenance (PdM) has the potential to reduce industrial costs by anticipating failures and extending the work life of components. Nowadays, factories are monitoring their assets and most collected data belong to correct working conditions. Thereby, semi-supervised data-driven models are relevant to enable PdM application by learning from assets’ data. However, their main challenges for application in industry are achieving high accuracy on anomaly detection, diagnosis of novel failures, and adaptability to changing environmental and operational conditions (EOC). This article aims to tackle these challenges, experimenting with algorithms in press machine data of a production line. Initially, state-of-the-art and classic data-driven anomaly detection model performance is compared, including 2D autoencoder, null-space, principal component analysis (PCA), one-class support vector machines (OC-SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithms. Then, diagnosis tools are developed supported on autoencoder’s latent space feature vector, including clustering and projection algorithms to cluster data of synthetic failure types semi-supervised. In addition, explainable artificial intelligence techniques have enabled to track the autoencoder’s loss with input data to detect anomalous signals. Finally, transfer learning is applied to adapt autoencoders to changing EOC data of the same process. The data-driven techniques used in this work can be adapted to address other industrial use cases, helping stakeholders gain trust and thus promote the adoption of data-driven PdM systems in smart factories.

  • The effort required to investigate an anomaly is usually proportional to the number of features that describe it.

    “Siddiqui et al. [193] point out that the effort required to investigate an anomaly is usually proportional to the number of features that describe it.”

    From A Survey on Explainable Anomaly Detection (2024) · cites this paper as [193]

    Section 3.2 (Diagnosis; page not provided) discusses reducing feature-vector dimensionality and using explanations to identify anomalous signals. It does not say that investigation effort is usually proportional to the number of features describing an anomaly. Searches for that relationship and for investigation effort found no supporting passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
