Automated Machine Learning (Industrial AutoML)

Faster creation and use of end-to-end solutions for machine learning models

With Weidmüller Industrial AutoML, you can optimize operational processes, increase product quality and create new business models by taking advantage of advanced analytics. As a machine or process expert, you can easily build, deploy and operate machine learning models without any prior knowledge of data science. The AutoML tool enables you to transform your data and domain knowledge into ML models that add value to your business. Models can be deployed in existing manufacturing environments to make real-time analytics and insights available to production workers and stakeholders across your operation.

Realise the full potential of the technology in cooperation with us. We use our expertise to support you, from selecting the correct data through to final integration in your production environment. Find out more about the Weidmüller data-based AutoML solution and optimise your processes for long-term business success.

Your AutoML benefits at a glance

In today’s data-driven world, not everyone has the knowledge or the ability to make use of data. AutoML closes this gap. It uses ML algorithms and models to allow everyone to gain valuable insights from existing data. At Weidmüller, we also offer you a number of promising benefits:

Accelerate innovation

Benefit from advanced analytics while using your existing machine data and domain knowledge. No extra training required. Build your own machine learning models within an hour.

End-to-end solution

Create machine learning models, operate and optimise them “on premise” or in the cloud. You can continuously improve model performance simply by retraining models as you gain more insights and collect more data from machines and processes.

Build customer relationships and new business models

Increase customer satisfaction with improved products and services, and achieve a better understanding of your customer’s needs. Use the data-driven insights made possible by AutoML to develop an individual product offer.

Our AutoML software product modules and features

edgeML - Machine learning tool for automation Product innovation

Deploy ML models independently of hardware and operating systems

edgeML makes it possible to integrate ML models into automation in a particularly easy and flexible way – regardless of the hardware. And this is completely independent of the hardware. The tool uses machine learning to continuously and efficiently monitor systems or processes directly at the machine. Users import and manage ML models via the web interface using drag & drop. REST APIs and PROCON-Connect form interfaces to the system. The Docker-based solution is hardware-independent and enables simple, flexible integration of ONNX-based ML models into automation.

Simple integration in controllers
Intuitive operation of ML models
Supports ML models in ONNX format

Discover and utilise the full potential of the smart product modules in our AutoML solution. Create, validate and export customised models without expertise in data science with ModelBuilder’s easy-to-use user interface. The ModelRuntime module supports the seamless operation, configuration and analysis of the AutoML models – on premise as well as in the cloud. Benefit from the advanced functions that make data-based services as well as greater productivity possible through anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.

Create, validate and export your own AutoML models with ModelBuilder

ModelBuilder is based on the following step by step approach:

Import and examine your machine and process data.
Assess your data based on automatically generated quality indicators (e.g. missing values).
Enrich your data by creating custom features.
Contextualize your data e.g. by defining what is normal behaviour and what is not.
Choose the kind of AutoML model to create (e.g. anomaly detection or classification).
The tool then automates the model creation process, including feature engineering, required preprocessing and post processing operations.
Select the most appropriate model from the models created, based on criteria such as model performance and plausibility.

ModelRuntime – operate, configure and analyse machine learning models

ModelRuntime can be used as follows:

Deploy your AutoML models where you need them: on-premise or in the cloud.
Connect your machine to ModelRuntime by configuring data sources, e.g. a database.
Import the created models and assign them to the specific machine. Multiple models can be used for the same machine.
Schedule model execution according to your requirements.
Visualize results using the embedded GUI.
Use and configure ModelRuntime programmatically by applying the interfaces provided.
Apply the AutoML model results in practise by importing model outcomes into the existing machine or manufacturing systems.

Weidmüller Galvanic

AutoML – Boge Kompressoren

APPLICATION AREA

Predicting the wear behaviour of critical compressor modules

Monitoring compressed air availability

BENEFITS

Delivering the relevant sensor data

Optimised production processes and test procedures

The Automated Machine Learning Tool helped me to create my own analytics models in a short time without having any data science know-how. I was positively surprised at how good the results the tool produced were based on my application knowledge about the compressor. The model creation process and model selection was intuitive and easy for me to follow.

Dr rer. nat. Christian Heesing, BOGE

AutoML – GEA

APPLICATION AREA

Automatic detection of anomalies in the behaviour of separators in the dairy industry

Scope: 500 integrated machines

BENEFITS

Increase in efficiency and productivity

Transfer of application knowledge into an algorithm

Extension and development of offered services

More information

We were fascinated by the solution, as we have a lot of process engineers who are very familiar with the machines and who are, to a certain extent, able to interpret the data. With Weidmüller's help, we can now transfer this knowledge to an algorithm.

Matthias Heinrich, Manager Digital Solutions, GEA

With the help of Weidmüller's AutoML software, we were able to generate an initial model for detecting anomalies with fairly little effort. This has already identified 97 per cent of the anomalies in the actual process. We especially like how easy the software is to use. The ability to mark normal and abnormal time ranges for model building is very well implemented.

Dr Martin Roth, Data Scientist, MULTIVAC

AutoML ModelBuilder enables the simple and fast creation and validation of procedures for anomaly detection based on historical data of motor currents in a milling process. It is intuitive to operate and effectively supports both beginners as well as experienced data science users.

Andre Schmidt, Automation/Software Development, G.Kraft Maschinenbau GmbH

AutoML – Weidmüller Galvanic

APPLICATION AREA

Monitoring of pumps in a galvanic plant

Sensors collect data from pumps e.g. vibrations, current strength, temperature or flow rate
The goal is to detect unusual pump behaviour e.g. bearing damage, to avoid unplanned downtimes and ensure process quality
