Facial mask detection technology has become increasingly important even beyond the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with the advancement in facial recognition technology, face mask detection has become a crucial feature for various applications. This paper introduces an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture based on a developed deep learning algorithm named You Only Look Once (YOLO) to keep society healthy, and secured, and collect data for future research. The proposed paradigm is built on the basis of economic consideration and is easy to implement. Yet, the used YOLOv4-tiny is one of the fastest object detection models to exist. A mask detection camera (MaskCam) that leverages the computing power of NVIDIA's Jetson Nano edge nanodevices was built side by side with a smart camera application to detect a mask on the face of an individual. MaskCam distinguishes between mask wearers, those who are not wearing masks, and those who are not wearing masks properly according to MQTT protocol. Furthermore, a self-developed web browsing application comes with the MaskCam system to collect and visualize statistics for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The practical results demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed smart mask detection system. On the one hand, YOLOv4-full obtained the best results even at smaller resolutions, although the frame rate is too small for real-time use. On the other hand, it is twice as fast as the other detection models, regardless of the quality of detection. Consequently, inferences may be run more frequently over the entire video sequence, resulting in more accurate output. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Induction motors are important equipment in modern industry. However, the occurrence of fatigue failure following an extended period of operation invariably results in a catastrophic failure. As a result, monitoring and diagnosing induction motors is critical to avoiding unplanned shutdowns caused by premature failures. This article aims to develop an effective method for motor fault detection using time–frequency contents of vibration signals and an attention-based convolutional neural network model. First, the vibration signals are collected and labeled into five different categories: normal condition, outer ring fault, inner ring fault, misalignment condition, and broken rotor bar. Then, using the Morlet function, continuous wavelet transform (CWT) converts the vibratory time-series signals to the scalogram feature images. The time–frequency feature images are created after downsampling and converting the measured vibration signals to the frequency domain. These images are then resized and fed into the proposed convolutional attention neural network (CANN) to identify various induction motor failures. The experimental results demonstrate that the suggested model can provide an excellent diagnosis accuracy of 99.43%, significantly better than the state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for fault diagnosis. Moreover, the developed model’s robustness is validated against adversarial attacks based on the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) by including white Gaussian noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The uncertainties due to the cyberattacks are tackled with a low computation burden deep learning algorithm. • A new IoT structure for monitoring the induction motor is developed. • A graphical visualization is performed to identify the faults of the induction motors. • Parameterizing the DNN of the fault recognition model is investigated. • The results confirm the robustness and resiliency of the designed model. Maintaining electrical machines in good working order and increasing their life expectancy is one of the main challenges. Precocious and accurate detection of faults is crucial to this process. Induction motors (IMs) are among these machines widely utilized in various fields including industrial and domestic applications that require effective detection of their status. This paper proposes a novel fault recognition and correction (FRC) scheme based on the internet of things (IoT) and deep learning for IMs. In the developed system, vibration signals during motor operation are used to generate bearing fault features, which are inputted to the designed deep learning model to successfully identify bearing faults. The robustness of the proposed approach is tested against a false data injection (FDI) attack. Further, the proposed deep learning approach has been assessed and compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms available in the literature. Experimental testing has been carried out on a real IM to perform the suitability of the developed fault detection and correction scheme. Compared to other fault recognition techniques, the proposed method proves to be more effective. In essence, the results verified the robustness of the novel proposed strategy against the FDI attack making it possible to recognize faults with confidence and improve decision-making to determine the motor's status.

In the "Industry 4.0" era, autonomous and self-adaptive industrial machining attracts significant attention in professional manufacturing. This trend originates from the rising demands for machining quantity and part quality, as well as the need for optimization of the overall operational cost. Under such circumstances, tool condition monitoring (TCM) systems contribute to the mentioned goals by monitoring the cutting tool operation states, which detect signs of tool failures such as cracks, chippings, fractures, and estimate the remaining tool life for the ultimate goal of optimizing the performance of machining processes. This article presents the latest advancements in each stage of TCM systems, namely fusion sensors methods, modern data acquisition systems (DAQ), virtual machining, and lightweight TCM models, wherein artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies demonstrate promising operational efficiency and accuracy while showing their potential in practical applications. Moreover, emphasis is paid to the current blank spots and limitations of implementing machine learning, deep learning, and IoT technologies in tool-embedded TCM, namely big data handling, generalization of Machine Learning models, as well as cloud computing latency, which suggests corresponding solutions to enable the practicality of mass implementation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for TCM systems, such as cloud migration, custom TCM network, and shared knowledge databases between multiple factories. In addition to a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art innovations for TCM systems, the future prospects of intelligent TCM systems are also presented for smart manufacturing.

This paper introduces an integrated IoT architecture to handle the problem of cyber attacks based on a developed deep neural network (DNN) with a rectified linear unit in order to provide reliable and secure online monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The developed IoT architecture based on a DNN introduces a new approach for the online monitoring of AGVs against cyber attacks with a cheap and easy implementation instead of the traditional cyber attack detection schemes in the literature. The proposed DNN is trained based on experimental AGV data that represent the real state of the AGV and different types of cyber attacks including a random attack, ramp attack, pulse attack, and sinusoidal attack that is injected by the attacker into the internet network. The proposed DNN is compared with different deep learning and machine learning algorithms such as a one dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), a supported vector machine model (SVM), random forest, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and a decision tree for greater validation. Furthermore, the proposed IoT architecture based on a DNN can provide an effective detection for the AGV status with an excellent accuracy of 96.77% that is significantly greater than the accuracy based on the traditional schemes. The AGV status based on the proposed IoT architecture with a DNN is visualized by an advanced IoT platform named CONTACT Elements for IoT. Different test scenarios with a practical setup of an AGV with IoT are carried out to emphasize the performance of the suggested IoT architecture based on a DNN. The results approve the usefulness of the proposed IoT to provide effective cybersecurity for data visualization and tracking of the AGV status that enhances decision-making and improves industrial productivity.

Induction motors are widely used in various industrial applications due to their simplicity, robustness, and high efficiency. In recent years, deep learning approaches have shown great potential for detecting and diagnosing faults in induction motors. However, it was observed that the convolutional neural network (CNN) might miss the crucial long-range temporal dependencies of the significant features. At the same time, the recursive neural network (RNN) may face issues such as vanishing gradient and less computational efficiency if the data is too long with complex patterns. This paper proposes a novel deep-learning model that combines a one-dimensional CNN and an RNN into two independent pipelines. The spatial, temporal, long-term, and short-term features can be extracted from the raw input signal. A multi-head mechanism, a state-of-the-art deep learning technique in natural language processing (NLP), enables the model to focus more on relevant features and prevent overfitting. Specifically, our method simplifies the conventional fault diagnosis workflow while maintaining competitive accuracy compared to several state-of-the-art methods. By leveraging the ability to detect faults directly from raw, unprocessed electrical signals, our approach offers a practical, cost-effective solution for real-time fault detection in industrial applications. This innovation has the potential to significantly reduce downtime and the associated operational costs, thereby providing immediate practical value in various industrial settings.
