This research investigates the applicability of failure detection models based on machine learning and statistical approaches to reduce unplanned downtime in a food production company. Sensor data is utilized to for identifying early failure symptoms. To capture temporal and sequential dependencies in time-series data, we employ one of potential network based method so called the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Autoencoder. Furthermore, we contrast the performance of the result with the traditional statistical method, the multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA). While both models successfully detected all failures, LSTM-AE demonstrated superior performance by reducing false alarms and providing true alarms with a longer time-to-failure. The findings highlight the potential of leveraging limited data for failure prediction, demonstrating the effectiveness of both models in detecting anomalies while emphasizing their role in enhancing productivity through early failure detection.
