abstract = {Smart factories are complex; with the increased complexity of employed cyber-physical systems, the complexity evolves further. Cyber-physical systems produce high amounts of data that are hard to capture and challenging to analyze. Real-time recording of all data is not possible due to limited network capabilities. Limited network capabilities are the reason for a chain of faults introduced via active surveillance during fault diagnosis. These introduced faults may slow down production or lead to an outage of the production line. Here, we present a novel approach to automatically select production-relevant shop floor parameters to decrease the number of surveyed variables and, at the same time, maintain quality in fault diagnosis without overloading the network. We were able to achieve higher throughput, mitigate communication losses and prevent the disruption of factory instructions. Our approach uses an autoencoder ensemble via minority voting to differentiate between normal—always on—variables and production variables that may yield a higher entropy. Our approach has been tested in a production-equal smart factory and was cross-validated by a domain expert.},

Consequently, complexity also rises with the vast amount of data. While acquiring data from all the involved systems and protocols remains challenging, the assessment and reasoning of information are complex for tasks like fault detection and diagnosis. Furthermore, through the risen complexity of smart manufacturing, the diagnosis process relies even more on the current situation, the context. Current Visual Analytics models prevail only a vague definition of context. This chapter presents an updated and extended version of the TAOISM Visual Analytics model based on our previous work. The model defines the context in smart manufacturing that enables context-aware diagnosis and analysis. Additionally, we extend our model in contrast to our previous work with context hierarchies, an applied use case on open-source data, transformation strategies, an algorithm to acquire context information automatically and present a concept of context-based information aggregation as well as a test of context-aware diagnosis with latest advances in neural networks. We fuse methodologies, algorithms, and specifications of both vital research fields, Visual Analytics and Smart Manufacturing, together with our previous findings to build a living Visual Analytics model open for future research.},
