As more and more sensor data have been collected, automated detection, and diagnosis systems are urgently needed to lessen the increasing monitoring burden and reduce the risk of system faults. A plethora of researches have been done on anomaly detection, event detection, anomaly diagnosis respectively. However, none of current approaches can explore all these respects in one unified framework. In this work, a Multi-Task Learning based Encoder-Decoder (MTLED) which can simultaneously detect anomalies, diagnose anomalies, and detect events is proposed. In MTLED, feature matrix is introduced so that features are extracted for each time point and point-wise anomaly detection can be realized in an end-to-end way. Anomaly diagnosis and event detection share the same feature matrix with anomaly detection in the multi-task learning framework and also provide important information for system monitoring. To train such a comprehensive detection and diagnosis system, a large-scale multivariate time series dataset which contains anomalies of multiple types is generated with simulation tools. Extensive experiments on the synthetic dataset verify the effectiveness of MTLED and its multi-task learning framework, and the evaluation on a real-world dataset demonstrates that MTLED can be used in other application scenarios through transfer learning.

Solutions for machinery anomaly detection and diagnosis are typically designed on an ad hoc, custom basis, and previous studies have shown limited success in automating or generalizing these solutions. Reusing and maintaining the analysis software, especially when the machine usage pattern or operating condition changes, remains a challenge. This paper outlines a strategy to make use of operational data obtained from the machine’s controller and signals obtained from external sensors to provide an accurate analysis within each operating condition. Operational data collected from the controller is used both for labeling datasets into different operating conditions and for analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) is adopted to identify critical sensors that can provide useful information. Self-organizing map (SOM)-based anomaly detection and diagnosis methods are used to automatically convert data to easily understandable machine health information for operators. Experiment trials conducted on a feed-axis test-bed demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating operational data for anomaly detection and diagnosis.
