A Data-Driven Framework for Unsupervised Monitoring of Transmission Systems Using End-of-Line Testing Data: A Case Study at Ford Motor Company

The paper presents a two‑stage multivariate monitoring framework for high‑dimensional, temporally dependent data from end‑of‑line testing in automotive manufacturing. Stage one cleans and aligns the data, while stage two applies nonlinear dimensionality reduction and a control‑chart‑based anomaly detection procedure that can operate in unsupervised or supervised modes. Applied to Ford Motor Company production data, the framework outperforms the existing model, raising accuracy from 0.50 to 0.625, recall from 0.30 to 1.00, and F1 score from 0.429 to 0.769.

LLMs as Master Forgers: Generating Synthetic Time Series Data for Manufacturing

The paper introduces a framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic time‑series data for manufacturing processes. By fine‑tuning pre‑trained LLMs on manufacturing instructions and applying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the method enhances data diversity and realism. Evaluation against traditional models such as ARIMA and LSTMs shows that the LLM‑driven approach produces higher‑quality synthetic data, better capturing temporal dependencies and improving downstream anomaly detection performance.
