AI-Augmented Process Operations at Western Sugar Scotts Bluff Manufacturing Facility

Project Overview

This project aims to prototype AI and machine learning models to augment process operations at the Western Sugar Scotts Bluff manufacturing facility. The primary objectives are to investigate and develop predictive models for fault detection, optimize sensor placement, and minimize plant disruption.

Key Features

• Prototyping AI and machine learning models for process optimization
• Developing predictive models for fault detection
• Optimizing sensor placement within the manufacturing facility
• Minimizing plant disruption through AI-driven strategies

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Required libraries: NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib, Seaborn
• Access to the Western Sugar Scotts Bluff manufacturing facility's process data and sensor information

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/saikiranpennam/sugarbeet_analysis.git
   

2. Install the required libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Prepare the data:

   • Obtain the necessary process data and sensor information from the Western Sugar Scotts Bluff manufacturing facility.
   • Place the data files in the appropriate directories within the project.

Usage

1. Fault/Anamoly Detection:

   • Run the anamoly_detection.py script to train and evaluate the anamoly detection.

2. Beet Handling Data:

   • Extracted, Transformed, and Loaded the pipeline for the Initial Stage of Beet Handling data.

3. Filter Data:

   • Extracted, Transformed, and Loaded the pipeline for the Filter(second) Stage.

4. Carbonization Data:

   • Extracted, Transformed, and Loaded the pipeline for the Carbonization(third) Stage.

5. Visualization and Analysis:

   • Use the provided Jupyter notebooks in the python-scripts/ directory to visualize and analyze the results of the AI and machine learning models.
   • Customized the notebooks to generate specific insights and reports relevant to the Western Sugar Scotts Bluff manufacturing facility.
