Systems and methods for monitoring and controlling industrial processes

A computer-implemented data processing method for identifying a cause of a manufacturing process event, the method comprising:

• receiving, by computing hardware, first imaging data of a first type from one or more imaging devices, the first imaging data comprising imaging data for at least a first portion of a paper web during a paper manufacturing process;
• receiving, by the computing hardware, second imaging data of a second type from one or more imaging devices, the second imaging data comprising imaging data for at least a second portion of a paper web during a paper manufacturing process;
• receiving, by the computing hardware, event data associated with a manufacturing issue experienced during the paper manufacturing process;
• processing, by the computing hardware, the first imaging data, the second imaging data, and the event data using at least one of a machine-learning model trained or a rules-based model to generate a prediction as to a cause of the manufacturing event;
• determining, by the computing hardware based on the prediction, the cause of the manufacturing event;
• and
• providing, by the computing hardware, an indication of the cause of the manufacturing event for display on a computing device;
• synchronizing, by the computing hardware, the first imaging data and the second imaging data to generate third imaging data comprising the first imaging data and the second imaging data;
• modifying the third imaging data to include the indication of the cause of the manufacturing event;
• and
• providing the third imaging data for display on the computing device.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by computing hardware, first imaging data from a first imaging device, the first imaging data comprising imaging data for at least a first portion of an article of manufacture during a manufacturing process;
• receiving, by the computing hardware, second imaging data from a second imaging device, the second imaging data comprising imaging data for at least the first portion of an article of manufacture during a manufacturing process;
• receiving, by the computing hardware, event data associated with a manufacturing event associated with the article of manufacture during the manufacturing process;
• processing, by the computing hardware to produce a first data analysis result, the first imaging data, the second imaging data, and the event data using a machine-learning model trained with historical imaging data and historical manufacturing event data;
• determining, by the computing hardware based on the first data analysis result, an origin of the manufacturing event;
• and
• generating, by the computing hardware, a user interface for display on a computing device, the user interface comprising an indication of the origin of the manufacturing event, wherein:
• determining the origin of the manufacturing event comprises determining a location of the origin of the manufacturing event on the first portion of the article of manufacture;
• and
• the indication of the origin of the manufacturing event comprises the location.
