On-board 4-th Gen AI Anomaly Detection Device Now Available

The Onboard, real-time anomaly detection, 4-th generation AI device (CAHMS – Complexity And Health Monitoring System) has been been introduced recently (read here) and is now available for testing.

Installation is very simple. and the process is as follows:

STEP 1

Off-line analysis of client’s data sample allows to identify a suitable combination of the following parameters:

  • Window size, i.e., number of data samples to be processed at each step, e.g. 20, 50, 100, etc.
  • Analysis frequency, i.e. a time difference between steps, e.g. once every second, every 10 seconds, once a minute, etc.

These are the only two parameters that need to be defined and introduced into a configuration file on the device.

STEP 2

The following step is to create a local network connection between the CAHMS device and the data source, enabling two-way data transfer. This is a very simple procedure. The CAHMS receives data via a USB port via a USB-LAN connector.

STEP 3

During functioning, the data source computer needs to extract data windows of the previously specified size from memory, or from a CAN bus, and to write it to a shared directory on the CAHMS device with the above mentioned frequency.

STEP 4

Switch on the CAHMS. The system will start automatically and with the above specified frequency will seek for a new data frame in the mentioned shared directory.

In the same directory, CAHMS will write relevant information as well as alarm messages, if any. These are written in a format that may easily be read and displayed on client’s dashboard. Examples of outputs are illustrated in the scheme below:

These are:

  • Current system complexity
  • Channel ranking (bar chart)
  • Alarm message, if any.

The system is available for testing. Contact us for more information.

Established originally in 2005 in the USA, Ontonix is a technology company headquartered in Como, Italy. The unusual technology and solutions developed by Ontonix focus on countering what most threatens safety, advanced products, critical infrastructures, or IT network security - the rapid growth of complexity. In 2007 the company received recognition by being selected as Gartner's Cool Vendor. What makes Ontonix different from all those companies and research centers who claim to manage complexity is that we have a complexity metric. This means that we MEASURE complexity. We detect anomalies in complex defense systems without using Machine Learning for one very good reason: our clients don’t have the luxury of multiple examples of failures necessary to teach software to recognize them. We identify anomalies without having seen them before. Sometimes, you must get it right the first and only time!
