Based on the need of prioritization of maintenance activities in a BOSCH Spot Welding process in the automotive industry, this work aims to develop anomalous equipment selection methodologies for assisting it. The first one is proposed based on data exploration by checking every possible set of alarms of the machines. A second one is created using multiple data clustering models in order to identify machines that behave differently from the others for certain time periods. Bayesian networks were also applied to assist the identification of cause-and-effect relationships between the warning and error logs. The clustering method proved effective in identifying anomalies, which were later inspected on the shop floor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
