Preprocessing data for manufacturing
analytics is complex and time consuming.
Custom built preprocessing
solutions are used to gather data
in electronics manufacturing.
The problem
How do people
solve it today

Test time reduction
270k-290kEUR/plant
Reducing risk through higher quality data and
improving business with data preprocessing
Industrial Analytics Example:
Bosch Competition, I
4 product lines
52 stations
Every feature has timestamp
Data rows
Parts of mechanical components
# (training data) – 1 183 747
# (test data) – 1 183 748
Data columns
Anonymized features of stations
Numeric – 970
Categorical – 2 141
Bosch has to ensure that the recipes for the production of its
advanced mechanical components are of the highest quality
and safety standards. Part of doing so is closely monitoring its
parts as they progress through the manufacturing processes.

Outlier Detection
• Single point anomaly detection: likelihood over distribution
• Finding anomalous groups: divergence estimation
• Methods: percentage change, T-test, Chi-square test, Generalized ESD (Extreme
Studentized Deviate) test, Seasonal Hybrid ESD, etc.
• Goal: move from detection to automated response
Outlier Detection in Practice
• Too many detections of too little value
• Use methods for thresholds
• Breakout detection and Concept Drift
• For changing distributions move baselines over time
• Risk of overfitting to known anomalies, not finding unknown anomalies
Bayesian aka Active Optimization
• Examples: Design of Experiments, hyper-parameters of supervised
learning, algorithms tested with simulations
f is an unknown expensive black-box function with the goal to
approximately optimize f with as few experiments as possible
• No free lunch theorem
• Other bio-inspired
algorithms for optimization
exploitation and
exploration: neural
networks, genetic algorithms,
swarm intelligence, ant
colony optimisation, etc.
Bayesian Optimization in Practice
• SigOpt experience: 20 dimensions, above human capacity.
• Uber ATC experience: scaling active optimization to high
dimensions default works reliably for 5-7 dim.
• Variables are added during optimization.
• Choose fidelity using heuristics.
Extensive data bases of DNA sequences,
metabolism of cells and components – enzymes
etc., high-throughput experimental omics-
methods
Software environment for in silico ab initio
design of cells, and in silico testing
(predictive modeling) of the cell designs in
manufacturing processes
