Abstract
In the era of Industry 4.0, highly complex production equipment is becoming increasingly integrated and intelligent, posing new challenges for data-driven process monitoring and fault diagnosis. Technologies such as IIoT, CPS, and AI are seeing increasing use in modern industrial smart manufacturing. Cloud computing and big data storage greatly facilitate the processing and management of industrial information flow, which helps the development of real-time fault diagnosis (RTFD) technology. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest RTFD technologies in the field of industrial process monitoring and machine condition monitoring. The RTFD process is introduced in detail, starting with the data acquisition process. The current RTFD methods are divided into methods based on independent feature extraction, methods based on “end-to-end” neural networks, and methods based on qualitative knowledge reasoning from a new perspective. In addition, this paper discusses the challenges and potential trends of RTFD in future development to provide a reference for researchers focusing on this field.
