SAFE: Secure anomaly detection edge AI system For critical Environments

Improving safety and efficiency in the food, chemical, and energy industries
Funding: ICSC Innovation Funds
Enabling technology: Advanced Modeling and Simulation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Multi-sensor control units

Sustainable Development Goals

The SAFE project aims to improve safety and efficiency in the food, chemical, and energy industries by developing an artificial intelligence system for predicting anomalies in critical industrial processes. The system will use sensors and machine learning algorithms to identify malfunctions in real time.

National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing (ICSC), a project funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU – and by Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) – Mission 4, Component 2.

Objectives

The goal is to improve safety and efficiency in industries where numerous variables could endanger materials or affect productivity. This is particularly challenging in sectors such as food, chemicals, and energy, due to the number of variables and potential hazards that must be taken into account for effective anomaly prediction.

Initial Challenge

Given the need for precise and reliable monitoring of controlled environments such as food, chemical, and energy industries, the project will design a system to improve efficiency. The variables related to safety and efficiency are numerous, which implies a certain degree of process complexity.

Solution

Generative AI techniques will enable the development of synthetic data generation models that reproduce operational anomalies. The Edge AI model will then be trained on the model architecture best suited to the project’s needs.

Benefits

The Edge AI systems will be trained on a significant amount of data, taking into account existing recorded anomalies, contributing to the creation of a relevant dataset. In addition, different malfunction conditions will first be tested in controlled environments to ensure they are easily recognizable and resolvable. Overall, the project will be scalable and useful for all types of industry.
