Fault Annotation Library

BKOAI’s Fault Annotation Library automates real-time issue detection, enabling faster responses and more efficient troubleshooting through custom annotations and metadata

Goals

  • Automate real-time operational issue detection for subject matter experts.
  • Build a centralized library of custom annotations and process profiles.
  • Make historical fault information easier to retrieve and reuse.
  • Support troubleshooting with relevant process history and associated performance indicators.

Challenges

  • Reliance on human memory makes historical process anomalies difficult to recognize consistently.
  • High volumes of monitoring data make relevant fault patterns difficult to identify.
  • Comparing current operating conditions with historical events requires manual effort.
  • Troubleshooting requires access to both process data and the context surrounding previous events.

Solutions

  • Deploy a Fault Annotation Library integrating anomaly detection and process-profile recognition.
  • Provide an interface for subject matter experts to review and annotate identified events.
  • Match real-time process patterns with historical profiles and associated annotations.
  • Link annotations with historical periods of interest and associated performance indicators.

Results

  • Created an organization-specific database of custom annotations and process profiles.
  • Connected real-time process data with preconfigured annotations.
  • Enabled operators to access historical periods of interest and associated performance indicators.
