AI Anomaly Detection

The AI Anomaly Detector addon creates anomaly detectors for assets.

We've previously experimented with common anomaly-detection algorithms with ARDI. While they were effective, we discovered the following…

• Most of these algorithms simply provided a 'Yes' or 'No' response, and couldn't explain why they were triggering.

• They would often be overly sensitive to channels of data that weren't very important.

Our solution was to use Generative AI to create a twin model of the asset(s). This helps to not only explain why an alert has been raised, but also lets users tune the alerts to ignore the less-relevant properties of your assets.

To build an AI anomaly detector, you need to go through a couple of steps.

1) Search for the asset you want to detect anomalies on and open the dashboard,
2) Press the AI Anomaly Detector button,
3) If there isn't a model for that asset already, you'll be able to press Create Model to build a new model.

Building the model can take a while - normally from 30-90s, but it depends on the size of the model and the hardware ARDI is installed on.

Once building is complete, you can view the model state.
