Industrial AI Assistant in manufacturing improves OEE

Smart manufacturing techniques reduce downtime and increase product quality

When using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industrial applications, relevant information is extracted from data for additional processing so that automated decisions and predictions can be made.

The Industrial AI Assistant (formerly known as moneo Data Science Toolbox) makes it easy for everyone to apply data science. This AI assistant offers various tools that you can use to optimize and monitor manufacturing processes - all without advanced knowledge of data science and programming.

Reliably monitor manufacturing processes

Simple

No data science expertise is necessary. Easy to implement for production and maintenance personnel.

Easy to train

 Train your models quickly with a sample of normal operating data. No need to simulate or replicate fault conditions.

Guided configuration

Graphical template-based configurators use normal machine operating conditions to guide a user to select, test, and validate machine model performance.

Edge deployable

Compact edge algorithm models do not require powerful processors and memory, allowing processing close to the point of use.

Tunable

 Fine-tune alerts as desired to optimize your preventive maintenance programs.

Reliable

Proven statistical models access both time-based and condition-based monitoring for prediction and advanced insights of changes to your equipment’s operational condition.

Industrial AI Assistant tools

The Industrial AI Assistant currently includes the software solutions moneo SmartLimitWatcher and moneo PatternMonitor which serve to detect anomalies.

Additional predictive maintenance tools are already in development and will soon be added to the Industrial AI Assistant.

moneo SmartLimitWatcher

moneo PatternMonitor
Principle Multidimensional indicators model the entire system to predict deviations or drift in the critical measurement for preventive maintenance. Singular indicator of structural changes in individual critical process values.
Advantage Automates prediction of equipment operational condition without the need to provide threshold failure limit values. Automates detection of operational abnormalities that could signify a pending asset issue.
Action Sets automated dynamic alarm thresholds based on relational measurements to predict asset failure. Tracks anomalies in measured values to categorize operating conditions and alert of potential asset failure. 
How? Evaluates the most critical machine parameter by evaluating related measurements for deviations. Deviations in support variables are precursor influences on the critical measurement (target variable.) Operating changes in support variables predict changes in the target variable.  Evaluates an operating parameter for volatility, step changes, and trending.
Implementation requirements Knowledge of machines to select parameters:
  • Target variable – Primary measurement for predicting issues. Select an AI model with trend history for training.
  • Support variables – Other measurements influencing the target variable. Select variables directly linked to the Target Variable.
Select variable and time period
Uses
  • Multistage or regulated processes
  • Focus on complete machines and systems
  • Stationary on / off proceses
  • Continuous (24/7) processes and machines
  • Focus on single measurements
