Time Series Anomaly Detection for Bottling Machine Maintenance

To reduce unplanned downtime, bottling plants replace mechanically wearing parts on fixed time schedules, ideally prior to failure. This lack of failure cases makes development of data-driven maintenance plans difficult. Anomaly detection is thus a promising alternative path towards predictive maintenance for these systems.

This talk will give an overview of unsupervised one- and multi-dimensional anomaly detection methods and their application to data from sensors of the main motor of a soft drink bottling machine. The behavior of this motor reflects the overall state of the machine, as it drives many of the machine's components.

The implementation of these anomaly detection algorithms on the AWS Greengrass architecture is also discussed. This platform allows easy application of the algorithms on client production systems.
