Abstract: A controller emulator, coupled to an interface that exposes the controller emulator to inputs from external sources, provides one or more control signals to a process simulator and a deep learning process. In response, the process simulator simulates response data that is provided to the deep learning processor. The deep learning processor generates expected response data and expected behavioral pattern data for the one or more control signals, as well as actual behavioral pattern data for the simulated response data. A comparison of at least one of the simulated response data to the expected response data and the actual behavioral pattern data to the expected behavioral pattern data is performed to determine whether anomalous activity is detected. As a result of detecting anomalous activity, one or more operations are performed to address the anomalous activity.

Abstract: A system including a deep learning processor obtains response data of at least two data types from a set of process stations performing operations as part of a manufacturing process. The system analyzes factory operation and control data to generate expected behavioral pattern data. Further, the system uses the response data to generate actual behavior pattern data for the process stations. Based on an analysis of the actual behavior pattern data in relation to the expected behavioral pattern data, the system determines whether anomalous activity has occurred as a result of the manufacturing process. If it is determined that anomalous activity has occurred, the system provides an indication of this anomalous activity.
