arXiv:2507.16696v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial signal analysis is hindered by severe data heterogeneity, which we characterize as the M5 problem. Existing solutions rely on specialized models that lack robustness and scalability, while large-scale pre-training has rarely been investigated in this area. In this work, we derive a prioritized roadmap for the M5 problem and propose FISHER, a Foundation model for multi-modal Industrial Signal compreHEnsive Representation. To address the foremost multi-sampling-rate problem, FISHER utilizes a novel sub-band modeling approach th
The increasing complexity and heterogeneity of data in industrial IoT and automation drive an urgent need for more robust and scalable analysis solutions at the foundational model level.
This research introduces a novel approach to unify heterogeneous industrial signals, which could significantly improve the efficiency, interoperability, and AI integration in diverse industrial sectors.
The development of foundation models for industrial signals offers a pathway to move beyond specialized, brittle models, enabling more generalized and scalable AI applications across manufacturing and operations.
