Abstract

The transformation of industrial manufacturing with computers and automation with smart systems leads us to monitor and log of industrial equipment events. It is possible to apply analytic approaches, and to find interpretive results for strategic decision making, providing advantages such as failure detection and predictive maintenance.

Over the last years, many researchers have been studying the application of machine learning techniques to improve such tasks. In this context, we develop a system capable of detect anomalies on an Air Production Unit (APU), taking into consideration the peak frequency of each sensor. The study started with the analysis of the sensors installed on the APU, defining its normal behavior and its failure mode. Using that information, we define rules, to monitor the APU, to detect anomalies on its components, and to predict possible failures. The definition of rules was based on the peak frequency analysis, which allowed the setting of boundaries of normality for the APU working modes and, thus, the identification of anomalies.
