Patent ID: 12007760

Abstract:
A computer-implemented pre-processed time-delay autoencoder based anomaly detection method are provided for detecting anomalous states of machines arranged in a factory automation (FA) system or a manufacturing production line. The method includes acquiring source signals from the machines via an interface performing a data pre-processing process for the acquired source signals by normalizing value ranges of the acquired source signals and filtering undesired features from the acquired source signals performing a time-delayed data reform process for the pre-processed source signals based on a time-delay window to generate pre-processed time-delay data submitting pre-processed time-delay testing data to a pre-processed time-delayed autoencoder (Prep-TDAE) neural network, wherein the pre-processed time-delay testing data are collected online while the machines are operated, wherein the Prep-TDAE neural network has been pre-trained by using the pre-processed time-delay training data detecting, if an anomaly state is encountered with respect to the machines, by computing anomaly scores of the pre-processed time-delay testing data, and determining, when the anomaly state is detected, anomaly occurrence time, duration and severity with respect to the anomaly state of each of the machines.
