Abstract: A circuit breaker monitoring system and method includes a vibration sensor, a processing unit, and an output unit. The vibration sensor is configured to be mounted to a circuit breaker and to acquire a temporal vibration signal over at least a temporal portion of a closing operation of the circuit breaker. The closing operation comprises: initiation of the closing operation; latch release; movement of a moveable contact towards a fixed contact; contact touch of the moveable contact with the fixed contact; stop of movement of the moveable contact. The sensor provides the temporal vibration signal to the processing unit, which determines a plurality of physical switch events and corresponding plurality of time points of the plurality of physical switch events over the closing operation of the circuit breaker.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automating the development of industrial machine learning applications includes one or more sub-methods that, depending on the industrial machine learning problem, may be executed iteratively. These sub-methods include at least one of a method to automate the data cleaning in training and later application of machine learning models, a method to label time series (in particular signal data) with help of other timestamp records, feature engineering with the help of process mining, and automated hyper-parameter tuning for data segmentation and classification.
