Most vibration problems arise due to “not being measured,” “not being visible,” or “not being interpreted correctly.”
In this seminar, we clearly define this “invisible enemy” and systematize the entire workflow from data acquisition, feature design, to AI-based analysis from a practical perspective.
We explain everything from Excel-based preprocessing to anomaly detection algorithm selection and real-world case studies using field data.
Rather than simply introducing AI, we present how to implement it in a form that can actually be used in the field.
Do you have these challenges?
- You cannot identify the cause of vibration problems, and countermeasures are ad hoc
- Even after FFT or other analysis, there is no decisive insight
- You have measurement data but do not know how to use it for AI
- You want to introduce anomaly detection but cannot decide which method to use
- You want to move away from reliance on personal experience and achieve reproducible decision-making
Seminar Overview
This seminar explains a complete methodology to visualize the “invisible enemy” hidden in vibration problems using data and AI, enabling practical control in real-world applications.
We systematically explain how to acquire data, extract features, and detect anomalies using AI for non-stationary and nonlinear phenomena that cannot be captured by conventional FFT or FEM methods.
We also focus on practical methods that can be immediately applied in the field, such as Excel-based preprocessing and data reconstruction.
・ The nature and mechanism of the “invisible enemy”
・ Impact of measurement conditions and data quality
・ AI-ready data design and feature extraction
・ Selection and application conditions of anomaly detection algorithms
・ Case studies of anomaly detection and cause estimation using field data
