An automated manufacturing industry makes use of many interacting moving parts and sensors. Data from these sensors generate complex multidimensional data in the production environment. This data is difficult to interpret and also difficult to find patterns in. This project provides tools to get a deeper understanding of Swedsafe’s production data, a company involved in an automated manufacturing business. The project is based on and will show the potential of the multidimensional production data. The project mainly consists of predicting deviations from predefined threshold values in Swedsafe’s production data. Machine learning is a good method of finding relationships in complex datasets. Supervised machine learning classification is used to predict deviation from threshold values in the data. An investigation is conducted to identify the classifier that performs best on Swedsafe's production data. The technique sliding window is used for managing time series data, which is used in this project. Apart from predicting deviations, this project also includes an implementation of live graphs to easily get an overview of the production data. A steady production with stable process values is important. So being able to monitor and predict events in the production environment can provide the same benefit for other manufacturing companies and is therefore suitable not only for Swedsafe. The best performing machine learning classifier tested in this project was the Random Forest classifier. The Multilayer Perceptron did not perform well on Swedsafe’s data, but further investigation in recurrent neural networks using LSTM neurons would be recommended. During the projekt a web based application displaying the sensor data in live graphs is also developed.
