When using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industrial applications, relevant information is extracted from data for additional processing so that automated decisions and predictions can be made.
The Industrial AI Assistant (formerly known as moneo Data Science Toolbox) makes it easy for everyone to apply data science. This AI assistant offers various tools that you can use to optimize and monitor manufacturing processes - all without advanced knowledge of data science and programming.
No data science expertise is necessary. Easy to implement for production and maintenance personnel.
Train your models quickly with a sample of normal operating data. No need to simulate or replicate fault conditions.
Graphical template-based configurators use normal machine operating conditions to guide a user to select, test, and validate machine model performance.
Compact edge algorithm models do not require powerful processors and memory, allowing processing close to the point of use.
Fine-tune alerts as desired to optimize your preventive maintenance programs.
Proven statistical models access both time-based and condition-based monitoring for prediction and advanced insights of changes to your equipment’s operational condition.
The Industrial AI Assistant currently includes the software solutions moneo SmartLimitWatcher and moneo PatternMonitor which serve to detect anomalies.
Additional predictive maintenance tools are already in development and will soon be added to the Industrial AI Assistant.

---|---|---|
Principle | Multidimensional indicators model the entire system to predict deviations or drift in the critical measurement for preventive maintenance. | Singular indicator of structural changes in individual critical process values. |
Advantage | Automates prediction of equipment operational condition without the need to provide threshold failure limit values. | Automates detection of operational abnormalities that could signify a pending asset issue. |
Action | Sets automated dynamic alarm thresholds based on relational measurements to predict asset failure. | Tracks anomalies in measured values to categorize operating conditions and alert of potential asset failure. |
How? | Evaluates the most critical machine parameter by evaluating related measurements for deviations. Deviations in support variables are precursor influences on the critical measurement (target variable.) Operating changes in support variables predict changes in the target variable. | Evaluates an operating parameter for volatility, step changes, and trending. |
Implementation requirements | Knowledge of machines to select parameters:
