[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and particularly relates to a nitrogen making device fault monitoring system based on AI edge computing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the industrial production process, the nitrogen making device is an indispensable part of many industries, such as chemical industry, electronics, food and beverage, and medicine, etc. These devices provide high-purity nitrogen supply by separating nitrogen from air, and their running efficiency and reliability are directly related to the stability of the production line and the product quality. However, due to the long-term work of the nitrogen making device in harsh environments such as high pressure and high temperature, the frequent faults caused by equipment aging, wear and tear of parts, etc. seriously affect the continuity and safety of production.

[0003] Traditionally, the fault monitoring of the nitrogen making device mainly relies on manual inspection and regular maintenance. This method not only consumes time and effort, but also is difficult to achieve early warning of potential faults, and often only measures can be taken after the fault occurs, which greatly increases the maintenance cost and downtime. In addition, with the development of Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI), more and more intelligent monitoring means are applied in the industrial field, but how to effectively integrate these advanced technologies to improve the running reliability and maintenance efficiency of the nitrogen making device is still a problem to be solved.

[0004] In recent years, edge computing as a new computing mode can perform real-time data processing and analysis near the data source, providing a new idea for solving the above problems. Combined with lightweight AI models such as long short-term memory network (LSTM) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), potential faults of the nitrogen making device can be quickly and accurately predicted on the edge side, thereby significantly improving the timeliness and accuracy of fault detection. However, the existing edge computing and AI combined fault monitoring system still faces challenges such as difficulty in multi-protocol data acquisition, low data quality, limited processing capacity of nonlinear relationship, etc.

[0005] Therefore, the present application aims to propose a nitrogen making device fault monitoring system based on AI edge computing, which realizes comprehensive and accurate data acquisition of the nitrogen making device, efficient data aggregation and preprocessing, effective capture of complex nonlinear relationship, and thus improves the fault prediction accuracy and operation and maintenance efficiency.
