Anomaly detection on data streams for machine condition monitoring

Abstract

Machine Condition Monitoring (MCM) is an important topic for the reliability of industrial machines in increasingly interconnected production facilities. The analysis of a huge amount of data to get information about the machine's condition is a difficult challenge. Current solutions for these analyses are often very specific, need a lot of manual configuration or are difficult to apply. In this paper, we present a system that uses anomaly detection in data streams to find hints for faulty machines in the data. The basis of this system is a Data stream management system (DSMS), which can handle huge amounts of streaming data and simplifies the definition of analyses. Due to the anomaly detection algorithms, the approach can be applied to a variety of data and scenarios. The outcome is a system that allows live analysis of machine data for MCM.
