Computer system and method of detecting manufacturing network anomalies
First Claim
1. A computing system comprising:
- a network interface;
at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computing system to;
while monitoring operation of a manufacturing network having a topology that includes a plurality of edge nodes, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a root node, evaluate the operation of the manufacturing network using at least two of (a) macro-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of the manufacturing network as a whole, (b) micro-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of micro-networks in the manufacturing network, (c) path-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of node paths in the manufacturing network, or (d) node-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of individual nodes in the manufacturing network;
based on the evaluation, identify at least one anomaly in the manufacturing network; and
after identifying the at least one anomaly, trigger at least one action that is directed to resolving the at least one anomaly.

Abstract
A computing system may evaluate the operation of a manufacturing network using at least two of (a) macro-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of the manufacturing network as a whole, (b) micro-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of micro-networks in the manufacturing network, (c) path-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of node paths in the manufacturing network, or (d) node-level threshold criteria indicating anomalous operation of any of a plurality of individual nodes in the manufacturing network. Based on the evaluating, computing system may identify at least one anomaly in the manufacturing network and then trigger at least one action that is directed to resolving the at least one anomaly.
