Haven’t you ended up with FFT analysis just thinking “I kind of understand it”?
If so, many vibration problems will never be truly solved.
In this seminar, we explain the concept and extraction methods of “features,” which are key to AI utilization, and show how adding them can restructure real-world Excel data.
Rather than using existing data as-is, we explain a practical approach that transforms it into “data that enables decisions” and applies it to AI analysis.
We do not go into difficult theory, but focus strictly on “how to make practical engineering decisions.”
You will learn how to capture vibration differences that were previously invisible and derive technically meaningful conclusions.
Do you have any of these issues?
- You perform FFT analysis, but final decisions still rely on experience and intuition
- You have Excel data, but it is not structured for decision-making
- You want to use AI, but do not know what kind of data to prepare
- AI does not work well when using existing data as-is
- Criteria for abnormality judgment are unclear and no conclusion is reached
Seminar Overview
This seminar focuses on restructuring Excel vibration data used in engineering sites into “data that enables decision-making” by adding feature quantities, and learning how to apply AI in practical work.
We explain a perspective that captures vibration differences that are difficult to see in conventional FFT-based analysis by combining multiple types of information.
Rather than simply reusing data, you will understand how to transform it so that it leads to engineering decisions.
We do not go into complex theory, but specialize in a practical approach that can be reproduced in real work environments.
・ Understand why adding features changes how vibration data is interpreted
・ Learn how to identify vibration differences that FFT alone cannot capture
・ Understand how to restructure Excel data into “decision-making data”
・ Learn data design and application flow for practical AI use
・ Understand the entire process from analysis to decision-making through real examples

Main Outcomes of This Seminar
- You will acquire the ability to design and add meaningful feature quantities to existing Excel vibration data, transforming it into “decision-ready data” that enables AI-based anomaly detection and causal interpretation.
- You will move beyond simply viewing FFT results, and gain practical engineering skills to integrate multiple information sources, identify vibration differences, and apply AI outputs as reliable engineering decisions.
