Abstract:Industrial compressors operate under complex conditions, and their failures can lead to production interruptions and safety risks. To address the limitations of centralized cloud-based anomaly detection in terms of real-time performance and communication efficiency, an anomaly detection method for compressor PLC data based on 5G edge computing is investigated. An edge–cloud collaborative monitoring architecture is established, in which lightweight deep learning models are deployed on edge nodes to enable real-time analysis of multivariate time-series data. An LSTM autoencoder is employed to model normal operating patterns of compressors, combined with model compression techniques to reduce computational and storage overhead. In addition, data preprocessing and feature engineering methods tailored to typical operating parameters are designed. Experimental evaluation using real industrial data demonstrates that the proposed method achieves an anomaly detection accuracy of 96.3% with an average inference latency of 45ms, enabling effective identification of both gradual degradation and sudden faults. Practical application results indicate that the method meets the requirements of low-latency and high-reliability condition monitoring in industrial environments.
