Data-driven Anomaly Detection in Industrial Processes
This talk presents a model-based anomaly detection framework, along with data-driven process monitoring approaches based on multivariate statistical methods and artificial intelligence techniques.
Overview
Anomaly detection plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of engineering, environmental, and industrial systems. Undetected anomalies can lead to productivity losses, increased operational costs, and serious safety hazards. Model-based and data-driven approaches offer complementary strengths for identifying anomalous conditions and improving system monitoring performance. The proposed methods are illustrated through several real-world applications, including air quality monitoring, fault detection in photovoltaic systems, water desalination, and anomaly detection in wastewater treatment plants.
