Anomaly detection is becoming increasingly important to enhance reliability and resiliency in the Industry 4.0 framework. In this work, we investigate different methods for anomaly detection on in-production manufacturing machines taking into account their variability, both in operation and in wear conditions. We demonstrate how the nature of the available data, featuring any anomaly or not, is of importance for the algorithmic choice, discussing both statistical machine learning methods and control charts. We finally develop methods for automatic anomaly detection, which obtain a recall close to one on our data. Our developed methods are designed not to rely on a continuous recalibration and hand-tuning by the machine user, thereby allowing their deployment in an in-production environment robustly and efficiently.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
