Abstract
Abstract
Machine learning in industrial condition monitoring is currently a rapidly developing field of research, to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes. Many of the used algorithms are supervised methods, which can learn and recognize hidden patterns in the data. However, training data is required to learn these patterns, which can only be generated to a limited extent in an industrial environment due to the high costs involved. Furthermore, it is impossible to represent all possible events in the training data. In contrast, unsupervised or semi-supervised methods can be used to detect new conditions or events. However, these usually do not allow diagnosis or quantification of a fault condition, which is why their usefulness for modern maintenance strategies is limited. Consequently, a robust condition monitoring system should combine the functionality of both approaches. This paper presents a methodology for the combination of supervised classification and semi-supervised novelty detection to build an expandable and adaptable condition monitoring by transferring recurring novelties as new conditions to the supervised classification. A superordinate algorithm is proposed to achieve a stepwise extension of the supervised model based on new conditions detected by novelty detection. With this approach, a condition monitoring system can at first be based on “normal” data of a new machine or process by adding failures or novel conditions step-by-step. Furthermore, the supervised methods can be used to help the corresponding staff identify unknown conditions by analyzing the features selected by the supervised classification. The general workflow is demonstrated for condition monitoring of the pneumatic drive system of a welding gun.
