An improved mixture of probabilistic PCA for nonlinear data-driven process monitoring

An improved mixture of probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) has been introduced for nonlinear data-driven process monitoring in this paper. To realize this purpose, the technique of a mixture of probabilistic principal component analyzers is utilized to establish the model of the underlying nonlinear process with local PPCA models, where a novel composite monitoring statistic is proposed based on the integration of two monitoring statistics in modified PPCA-based fault detection approach. Besides, the weighted mean of the monitoring statistics aforementioned is utilized as a metrics to detect potential abnormalities. The virtues of the proposed algorithm are discussed in comparison with several unsupervised algorithms. Finally, Tennessee Eastman process and an autosuspension model are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme further

AI-based Modeling and Data-driven Evaluation for Smart Manufacturing Processes

Smart Manufacturing refers to optimization techniques that are implemented in production operations by utilizing advanced analytics approaches. With the widespread increase in deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors in manufacturing processes, there is a progressive need for optimal and effective approaches to data management. Embracing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to take advantage of manufacturing data can lead to efficient and intelligent automation. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive analysis based on Evolutionary Computing and Deep Learning algorithms toward making semiconductor manufacturing smart. We propose a dynamic algorithm for gaining useful insights about semiconductor manufacturing processes and to address various challenges. We elaborate on the utilization of a Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network to propose an intelligent feature selection algorithm. Our objective is to provide an advanced solution for controlling manufacturing processes and to gain perspective on various dimensions that enable manufacturers to access effective predictive technologies.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures.
