Abstract

Nowadays, multistage manufacturing processes (MMPs) are equipped with complex sensing systems. As a result, massive heterogeneous, high dimensional, and temporal-spatial data streams are generated from those MMPs. A challenging problem is how to develop advanced data analytics methods to effectively extract important information and knowledge from those accumulated production data.

This presentation will introduce a set of holistic retrospective modeling and analysis methods, which use machine learning tools to model and identify relationships among variables, to automatically aggregate data sets to model small batch production data, to automatically identify abnormal events occurred in a production and quantify their characteristics simultaneously, to identify and rank process variables that are critical to quality response with consideration of diversity, and to identify root causes of quality issues. This presentation will discuss research opportunities, challenges, and advancements, especially how machine learning concepts and algorithms can be used in retrospective data analytics problems. Examples of ongoing research projects will be used to articulate the frontiers of this research area. All examples come from real MMPs and encountered in real production systems. All papers presented in this talk are published in 2021
