Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the development of advanced sensing techniques, vast quantities of data are produced daily in complex manufacturing processes. To make the most and the best use of the available data, data-driven techniques have been the subject of extensive research in recent years. Compared with traditional model-based techniques, data-driven methods can not only save in costly modelling processes, but also obtain valuable information from the available process data for real-time process maintenance. Then, abnormal events including different types of faults can be diagnosed in a timely manner. Due to the ever-increasing complexity that exists in manufacturing processes, there are many new challenging problems to be solved in this field, such as fault root-cause analysis for large-scale, plant-wide processes; advanced sensing, such as image and voiceprint-based process monitoring; and fault diagnosis in the distributed framework, among others.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the presentation of recent findings and emerging research developments in advanced sensing and data-driven fault diagnosis for complex manufacturing processes, especially process monitoring, fault detection, fault diagnosis, and deep learning-relevant fault diagnosis techniques and their application in complex manufacturing processes.

Potential topics to be covered:

(1) Advanced sensing techniques

(2) Data-driven fault diagnosis methods

(3) Deep learning-based fault diagnosis methods

(4) Data-driven fault identification and root-cause analysis

(5) Data-driven fault degrade evaluation methods

(6)Image and voiceprint-based fault diagnosis

(7) Fault diagnosis methods with application to different sectors

Sensor faults are one of the most common faults that cause performance degradation or functional loss in permanent magnet traction drive systems (PMTDSs). To quickly diagnose faulty sensors, this paper proposes a real-time joint diagnosis method for multi-sensor faults based on structural analysis. Firstly, based on limited monitoring signals on board, a structured model of the system was established using the structural analysis method. The isolation and detectability of faulty sensors were analyzed using the Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition method. Secondly, the minimum collision set method was used to calculate the minimum overdetermined equation set, transforming the higher-order system model into multiple related subsystem models, thereby reducing modeling complexity and facilitating system implementation. Next, residual vectors were constructed based on multiple subsystem models, and fault detection and isolation strategies were designed using the correlation between each subsystem model and the relevant sensors. The validation results of the physical testing platform based on online fault data recordings showed that the proposed method could achieve rapid fault detection and the localization of multi-sensor faults in PMTDS and had a good application value.
