Abstract: A method of monitoring a milling machine includes deploying an untrained machine learning model for determining one or more anomalies in time series data. During operation of the milling machine, first time series data representing a rotational speed of a milling head of the milling machine and at least one further operating parameter of the milling machine are obtained by the untrained machine learning model. The untrained machine learning model is trained, during operation of the milling machine, based on the obtained first time series data. Second time series data representing the rotational speed of the milling head of the milling machine and the further operating parameter are obtained by the trained machine learning model during operation of the milling machine. One or more anomalies in the second time series data are determined by the trained machine learning model during operation of the milling machine.

Abstract: A method of operating a production for producing a plurality of products is provided. The method includes inspecting the products according to a first inspection rate. The inspection rate determines the number of products that are inspected during a period of time and/or from a given set of products. An inspection of one of the products includes testing (e.g., in a first number of testing steps) at at least one inspection station. The method includes obtaining test data based on the inspection of at least one of the products, and setting a threshold for a number of products not fulfilling the testing (e.g., during a specified period of time). The method also includes determining a second inspection rate based on the threshold set and the test data obtained, and inspecting the products according to the second inspection rate. The second inspection rate may be lower than the first inspection rate.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of maintaining a transport system in a manufacturing facility including: measuring one or more pose-related properties of a plurality of transportation devices at a plurality of manufacturing stations in the manufacturing facility, at which manufacturing stations one or more workpieces are processed; determining a statistical characteristic for each of the plurality of transportation devices based on the pose-related properties; determining a sequence for maintaining one or more transportation devices based on the statistical characteristics; and optionally performing one or more maintenance procedures based on the sequence.
