  • Publication number: 20240152123
    Abstract: Existing systems for fault detection and classification have the disadvantage that they have limited or no capability for fault localization and root cause identification, probably due to the challenges associated with modeling the nonlinear interactions among process variables and capturing the nonstationary behavior that is typical of most industrial processes. The disclosure herein generally relates to industrial manufacturing systems, and, more particularly, to method and system for localization of faults in an industrial manufacturing plant. The system uses a perturbation based approach for fault localization, in which the system determines variables having dominant effect on identified faults, in terms of a perturbation score calculated for each of the variables.

  • Patent number: 11836257
    Abstract: Data is prone to various attacks such as cyber-security attacks, in any industry. State of the art systems in the domain of data security fail to identify adversarial attacks in real-time, and this leads to security issues, as well as results in the process/system providing unintended results. The disclosure herein generally relates to data security analysis, and, more particularly, to a method and system for assessing impact of adversarial attacks on time series data and providing defenses against such attacks. The system performs adversarial attacks on a selected data-driven model to determine impact of the adversarial attacks on the selected data model, and if the impact is such that performance of the selected data model is less than a threshold, then the selected data model is retrained.

  • Publication number: 20230267028
    Abstract: The disclosure is a method and a system for root cause identification (RCI) of faults in manufacturing and process industries. With complex interrelated multivariate data in manufacturing and process industries, the process of root RCI of faults is challenging. Further, the existing techniques for RCI have significant dependency on manual inputs and subject matter knowledge/experts. The disclosure is method and a system for root cause identification of a fault based on causal maps. The root cause of fault is identified in several steps including: generation of casual maps using data received from a manufacturing and process industry and root cause identification from the causal maps based on a Fault Traversal and Root Cause Identification (FTRCI) technique. The FTRCI identifies root cause from the causal map by identifying a fault traversal pathway from a leaf node in the causal map, wherein the fault traversal pathway is identified for even cyclic paths.

  • Publication number: 20230033835
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for training of deep learning based time-series models based on self-supervised learning. The problem of missing data is taken care of by introducing missing-ness masks. The deep learning model for univariate and multivariate time series data is trained with the distorted input data using the self-supervised learning to reconstruct the masked input data. Herein, the one or more distortion techniques include quantization, insertion, deletion, and combination of the one or more such distortion techniques with random subsequence shuffling. Different distortion techniques in the form of reconstruction of masked input data are provided to solve. The deep learning model performs these different distortion techniques, which force the deep learning model to learn better features. It is to be noted that the system uses a lot of unlabeled data available cheaply as compared to the label or annotated data which is very hard to get.

  • Publication number: 20220405638
    Abstract: In applications such as adaptive learning of physics-based and data-driven models associated with industrial plants, the models are corrected periodically by taking into consideration the dynamic changes occurring in plant conditions and related data. However, accuracy of adaptive learning depends on accuracy of ground truth data being used as reference data. The disclosure herein generally relates to data preprocessing, and, more particularly, to a method and system for ground truth profile correction and instance selection. The system performs a ground truth profile correction for ground truth profiles having a Profile Deviation Index (PDI) value exceeding a threshold of distortion, to reduce the PDI value, and in turn reduce the distortion in the ground truth profiles. Further, the system performs a data instance selection to identify and remove outliers, and the data that remains after the data instance selection may be then used for applications such as model generation or retuning.
