A Bayesian network based learning system for modelling faults in large-scale manufacturing

Manufacturing companies can benefit from the early prediction and detection of failures to improve their product yield and reduce system faults through advanced data analytics. Whilst an abundance of data on their processing systems exist, they face difficulties in using it to gain insights to improve their systems. Bayesian networks (BNs) are considered here for diagnosing and predicting faults in a large manufacturing dataset from Bosch. Whilst BN structure learning has been performed traditionally on smaller sized data, this work demonstrates the ability to learn an appropriate BN structure for a large dataset with little information on the variables, for the first time. This paper also demonstrates a new framework for creating an appropriate probabilistic model for the Bosch dataset through the selection of statistically important variables on the response; this is then used to create a BN network which can be used to answer probabilistic queries and classify products based on changes in the sensor values in the production process.
