    Abstract: A computer system is configured to process alarm activations received from technical systems, where an alarm activation represents a deviation of the technical status of a technical system from normal. The system includes: a data storage interface for receiving alarm activations in data storage, where the recorded alarm activations correspond to alarms; a data processor for: determining, from the recorded alarm activations, time intervals for alarm analysis; and computing similarity measures between the time intervals that depend on the occurrence of the recorded alarm activations in the time intervals, and where the contribution of an alarm activation to the similarity of two time intervals is reduced with an increasing occurrence of the alarm in the time intervals; and a user interface configured to provide pairs of time intervals to an operator of the one or more technical systems that include time intervals with similarity measures indicating similar alarm.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an abnormal technical status of a technical system includes: receiving, from the technical system, a plurality of signals, each signal being sampled over time and reflecting the technical status of at least one system component; computing, for each signal with associated high and low alarm thresholds obtained from an alarm management system, at every sampling time point, a univariate distance to its associated alarm thresholds as a maximum of the distances between a value of the respective signal and its associated alarm thresholds to quantify a degree of abnormality for the respective at least one system component; computing, at every sampling time point, based on the univariate distances at the respective sampling time points, an aggregate abnormality indicator reflecting the technical status of the technical system; and providing, to an operator, a comparison of the aggregate abnormality indicator with a predetermined abnormality threshold.

    Abstract: A method for generating a process model modeling a manual mode procedure instance of a plant process includes providing log events of operational actions; selecting related sequences of manual mode operational actions from the log events; filtering the related sequences according to an individual plant section; identifying a sequential order from the filtered related sequences; determining statistical properties of values of related process variables and/or statistical properties of values of related set point changes to each sequential ordered manual mode operational action from the filtered related sequences; generating the process model of the manual mode procedure instance by arranging related manual mode operational actions with the sequential order of each operational action assigned with the statistical properties of the values of related process variables and/or assigned with the statistical properties of the values of the related set point changes.

    Abstract: An anomaly detection module is configured to apply a plurality of machine learning models to received technical status data to detect one or more indicators of an abnormal technical status prevailing in the industrial process system. The plurality of machine learning models are trained on historic raw or pre-processed sensor data and the anomaly detection module configured to generate the anomaly alert based on the one or more indicators. The received technical status data is assigned to signal groups and the generated anomaly alert is a vector with each vector element representing a group anomaly indicator for the respective signal group. Each vector element is determined by applying a respective group specific machine learning model.
