Functions of the components of the system 100 are now explained with reference to the steps in flow diagrams in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
[027] FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating steps involved in the process of generating a reference trajectory for recommending optimum configuration, by the system of FIG. 1, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[028] Steps in the method 200 are explained with reference to the components of the system 100. In an embodiment, the system 100 comprises one or more data storage devices or the memory 104 operatively coupled to the processor(s) 102 and is configured to store instructions for execution of steps of method 200 in FIG. 2 by the processor(s) or one or more hardware processors 102. The steps of the method 200 of the present disclosure will now be explained with reference to the components or blocks of the system 100 as depicted in FIG. 1 and the steps of flow diagram as depicted in FIG. 2. Although process steps, method steps, techniques or the like may be described in a sequential order, such processes, methods, and techniques may be configured to work in alternate orders. In other words, any sequence or order of steps that may be described does not necessarily indicate a requirement that the steps to be performed in that order. The steps of processes described herein may be performed in any order practical. Further, some steps may be performed simultaneously.
[029] Result of any industrial process depends on values of various parameters, which may be parameters such as but not limited to temperature, humidity, and pressure. For example, in a typical realization inputs could be temperature range 0 to 200-degree c, humidity 10% to 30% and constraints pH = 5. Determining the optimum configuration in the context of the embodiments disclosed herein refers to determining optimum values of the parameters which provides an intended result. To determine the optimum configuration, the system 100 generates via method 200 in FIG. 2, via the one or more hardware processors 102, a reference trajectory for an industrial process. Steps of the method 200 are further elaborated below.
[030] At step 202 of the method 200, the system 100 trains one or more estimators using historical data pertaining to a past performance of an industrial manufacturing process, wherein by training the one or more estimators, a trained model is generated. In an embodiment, the system 100 may use any suitable machine learning approach to train the estimators and generate the trained model. The historical data pertaining to the past performance of the industrial manufacturing process, which is used for training the estimators, may include information on a set of parameters, i.e. values of each of the parameters, for different operating conditions of the industrial manufacturing process. The different operating conditions maybe defined in terms of percentage of result obtained and/or a state of the industrial manufacturing process i.e. failure, success, partially completed and so on.
[031] Further, at step 204 of the method 200, the system 100 generates an acquisition function using the trained model and values of a plurality of dynamic constraints obtained at runtime. The acquisition function is a function that can be evaluated at a given point that is commensurate with how desirable evaluating f at x is expected to be for the minimization problem. In an embodiment, the system 100 performs the step of generating the acquisition function after verifying that the one or more estimators have been fully trained. Percentage of completion of the training of the one or more estimators maybe collected as in input by the system 100, or may be automatically determined by monitoring the training of the estimators. The system 100 generates the acquisition function such that an exploration space considered for generating the acquisition function is cut and shrunk based on one or more dynamic constraints. In an embodiment, the acquisition function is created with a high value on exploitation. The term ‘exploitation’ refers to reuse of decisions that have worked well in the past, whereas 'exploration’ refers to step of generating new decisions. Exploitation and exploration maybe performed as per known approaches, when required.
[032] In an embodiment, the system 100 accommodates the dynamic constraints by means of the following process.
• Step 1:- Receive upper bound and lower bound for all variables. At this step, the upper bound and the lower bound maybe received as input from a user.
• Step 2:- Receive information as to which are constraints and which are variable parameters, from the user or from an associated automated system. Also receive value of the constraint.
• Step 3:- Create a first random variable (RV1) which has a probability distribution within the received upper bound and the lower bound.
• Step 4:- Create a second random variable (RV2) which has a conditional probability distribution that is conditioned on the probability distribution associated with RV1. The Condition mentioned here is the scaled version of the constraint value received at step 2.
• Step 5:- Sampling n points (where, n = 10000 (approximately) in typical realizations) from the conditioned probability distribution created at step4.
• Step 6:- Pass the n points into the acquisition function.
[033] Further, at step 206 of the method 200, the system 100 returns coordinates of the exploration space, corresponding to a maxima of the acquisition function, as a recommendation. The coordinates indicate values of the recommendation which have high probability of optimizing a product/process quality being monitored, based on the reference trajectory. In addition, the recommendation also includes indices of sensors which sense/monitor/measure the parameters that are to be optimized. The system 100 may use any suitable optimization approach, for example a Bayesian optimization process, to generate the recommendation. The Bayesian optimization process, when used, optimizes a given set of parameters subjected to a predefined objective value. Further, at step 208 of the method 200, the system 100 obtains a feedback for the recommendation and storing the obtained feedback for a pre-defined time period. After collecting the feedback for the pre-defined time period, at step 210 of the method 200, the system 100 retrains the one or more estimators based on one or more of the feedback, to obtain retrained estimators. In an embodiment, the system 100 retrains the one or more estimators even if the one or more feedback indicates that the recommendations are satisfactory or good, so that confidence with which the one or more estimators generate the recommendations increases. In another embodiment, the system 100 may use incremental data or complete data to retrain the one or more estimators. Further, at step 212 of the method 200, the system 100 generates the reference trajectory using one or more parameters that maximize the acquisition function, generated from the retrained estimators, based on a new exploration space created from the dynamic constraints obtained in a plurality of subsequent iterations.
[034] The generated reference trajectory may then act as a baseline of performance i.e. representing a minimum performance level that is to be obtained in any practical scenario, and is further used for determining the optimum configuration. Steps involved in the process of determining the optimum configuration using the generated reference trajectory are depicted in method 300 in FIG. 3, and are explained hereafter. At step 302 of the method 300, the system 100 generates a real-time trajectory based on values of a plurality of parameters obtained for a plurality of real-time inputs, using a trained estimator from among the one or more estimators. Further, at step 304 of the method 300, the system 100 compares the real-time trajectory with the reference trajectory to identify any drift. In another embodiment, the system 100 may compare the real-time trajectory with the reference trajectory after reaching each of a plurality of pre-defined milestones. The pre-defined milestones may be in terms of percentage of completion of an ongoing process (for example, 25% completion, 40% completion and so on) and/or any other similar parameter(s) associated with the industrial process.
[035] In the context of the embodiments disclosed herein, the term ‘drift’ indicates a deviation of the real-time trajectory from the reference trajectory, which causes a dip in result in comparison with the baseline of performance. At this stage, as the system 100 identifies that the current values of one or more of the parameters has caused the dip in result, in order to improve the result to at least match the baseline of performance, at step 306 of the method 300, the system 100 dynamically recommends values of a plurality of parameters obtained for the plurality of real-time inputs, such that the corresponding real-time trajectory (i.e. generated based on the recommended values of the plurality of parameters) at least matches the reference trajectory. For example, in a typical realization under consideration, say after nth milestone, the desirable pH value should be 10 and instead the system 100 identifies that a pH value of 8 was obtained, which results into the deviation from the reference trajectory. So the system optimizes one or more other controllable parameters, for example, temperature, so that the difference of the reference trajectory and the real-time trajectory is below a pre-defined threshold. In an embodiment, the system 100 iteratively performs the steps 302 through 306, after recommending values of the plurality of parameters, till the real-time trajectory at least matches the reference trajectory. At this step, the system 100 determines the parameters (controllable parameters) to be optimized, based on the coordinates recommended at step 206 of the method 200, i.e. sensors at the recommended coordinates are identified, and corresponding parameters (i.e. the parameters being sensed by the sensors at the recommended parameters) are optimized. Further, optimization may involve increasing or decreasing values of the parameters. The values for optimization of the parameters are obtained as the recommendation at step 206 of the method 200, and accordingly the values of each of the parameters are increased or decreased, at once or in iterations, as maybe configured.
