Anomaly Detection with Root Cause Analysis for Bottling Process

In the filling and packaging industry, the trend is towards self-diagnosis, optimization, and quality monitoring of processes. The aim is to increase production volumes and the quality. These concepts require continuous monitoring and anomaly detection of the filling process. In addition, a root cause analysis of the failure is required because not every failure can be simulated or measured previously. Standard anomaly detection methods have no integrated root cause analysis. In this paper a fusion system is utilises for the detection of different unknown anomalies and also the failure source of them. The performance of this method is benchmarked with a real-word filling process
