In the automotive industry, the sequence of vehicles to be produced is determined ahead of the production day. However, there are some vehicles, failed vehicles, that cannot be produced due to some reasons such as material shortage or paint…
In the automotive industry, some vehicles, failed vehicles, cannot be produced according to the planned schedule due to some reasons such as material shortage, paint failure, etc. These vehicles are pulled out of the sequence, potentially…
Accelerometer-based process monitoring is widely deployed in modern machining systems. When mounted on moving machine components, such sensors implicitly capture kinematic information related to machine motion and tool trajectories. If this…
Quality control is an essential operation in manufacturing, ensuring products meet the necessary standards of quality, safety, and reliability. Traditional methods, such as visual inspections, measurements, and statistical techniques, help…
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models have been widely used for natural language processing, computer vision, and other deep learning tasks. We find that seq2seq models trained with early-stopping suffer from issues at the token level. In…
Manufacturing advanced materials and products with a specific property or combination of properties is often warranted. To achieve that it is crucial to find out the optimum recipe or processing conditions that can generate the ideal…
Operational disruptions can significantly impact companies performance. Ford, with its 37 plants globally, uses 17 billion parts annually to manufacture six million cars and trucks. With up to ten tiers of suppliers between the company and…
In this paper, we draw an analogy between processing natural languages and processing multivariate event streams from vehicles in order to predict $\textit{when}$ and $\textit{what}$ error pattern is most likely to occur in the future for a…
The method of choice to study one-dimensional strongly interacting many body quantum systems is based on matrix product states and operators. Such method allows to explore the most relevant, and numerically manageable, portion of an…
Fault diagnostics and prognostics are important topics both in practice and research. There is an intense pressure on industrial plants to continue reducing unscheduled downtime, performance degradation, and safety hazards, which requires…
Sequential DeepFake detection is an emerging task that predicts the manipulation sequence in order. Existing methods typically formulate it as an image-to-sequence problem, employing conventional Transformer architectures. However, these…
Aiming to generate easy-to-handle assembly sequences for robotic assembly, this study tackles assembly sequence generation by considering two tradeoff objectives: (1) insertion conditions and (2) degrees of constraints among assembled…
The welding seams visual inspection is still manually operated by humans in different companies, so the result of the test is still highly subjective and expensive. At present, the integration of deep learning methods for welds…
Automotive manufacturing assembly tasks are built upon visual inspections such as scratch identification on machined surfaces, part identification and selection, etc, which guarantee product and process quality. These tasks can be related…
Many prediction problems across science and engineering, especially in finance and economics, involve large cross-sections of individual time series, where each unit (e.g., a loan, stock, or customer) is driven by unit-level features and…
As autonomous agents become increasingly sophisticated, validating their sequential behavior presents a significant challenge. Traditional testing approaches require manual specification, exact sequence matching, or thousands of training…
The use of virtual safety assessment as the primary method for evaluating vehicle safety technologies has emphasized the importance of crash scenario generation. One of the most common crash types is the rear-end crash, which involves a…
We develop a novel generative model to simulate vehicle health and forecast faults, conditioned on practical operational considerations. The model, trained on data from the US Army's Predictive Logistics program, aims to support predictive…
Quality control is a fundamental component of many manufacturing processes, especially those involving casting or welding. However, manual quality control procedures are often time-consuming and error-prone. In order to meet the growing…
