Adaptive Process Monitoring for Multimode Industrial Processes Through Machine Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In complex industrial processes, real-time monitoring of critical variables is essential for ensuring operational safety and efficiency. Traditional process monitoring models often struggle with processes characterized by multiple operating modes, leading to decreased prediction accuracy and reliability. Existing methods typically require prior knowledge of the number of operating modes and cannot adapt to new modes that emerge over time, limiting their applicability in dynamic industrial environments. To address these challenges, we propose an adaptive process monitoring framework that automatically identifies operating modes using change point detection and classifies data using Gaussian mixture models. Specialized subsoft sensor models are then constructed for each identified mode. This approach eliminates the need for prior knowledge of operating modes and enables the system to adapt to new operating conditions in real time. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through a case study on the fluid catalytic cracking unit at the Parkland Refinery. The results show that our adaptive segmented model achieves a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 2.645 and an R<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of 0.819, significantly outperforming the nonsegmented model with an RMSE of 5.037 and a negative R<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of −0.597. This adaptive framework enhances operational safety and efficiency by providing a robust and flexible monitoring solution for dynamically changing industrial processes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
