Anomaly detection

Spot the unusual before it becomes a breakdown.

A fixed limit only catches a reading once it is already too high. Anomaly detection learns what normal looks like for each machine, and flags readings that do not fit, even when they are still inside the limits.

How it works

Two stages, both learned from your machine.

StageWhenWhat it does
Statistical checksFrom day oneCompares each new reading with the machine's recent readings. A value far from its usual range (measured with standard statistical tests, z-score and interquartile range) is flagged.
Machine learningAfter about 14 days of historyA model (Isolation Forest) learns the machine's normal patterns from its own history and flags readings that do not fit them.

A score, not just yes or no

Each reading gets a score from 0 to 1. Higher means more unusual.

Severity

Scores are grouped into low, medium and high, so people see the important ones first.

No alert floods

A run of unusual readings from the same sensor is grouped, so people get one message, not fifty.

Per machine

Each machine's normal is its own. A hot oven and a cool press are not judged the same way.

Where you see it

Built into the screens you already use.
