In this paper, a novel outlier detection method is proposed for industrial data analysis based on the fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm. An adaptive switching randomly perturbed particle swarm optimization algorithm (ASRPPSO) is put forward to optimize the initial cluster centroids of the FCM algorithm. The superiority of the proposed ASRPPSO is demonstrated over five existing PSO algorithms on a series of benchmark functions. To illustrate its application potential, the proposed ASRPPSO-based FCM algorithm is exploited in the outlier detection problem for analyzing the real-world industrial data collected from a wire arc additive manufacturing pilot line in Sweden. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ASRPPSO-based FCM algorithm outperforms the standard FCM algorithm in detecting outliers of real-world industrial data. Note to Practitioners—Electric arc (which is governed by the current and arc voltage) plays a significant role in monitoring the operating status of the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process. The nominal periodic current and voltage may occasionally change abruptly due to anomalies (such as arc instability, unstable metal transfer, geometrical deviations, and surface contaminations), which would affect the quality of the fabricated component. This paper focuses on detecting possible anomalies by analyzing the current and voltage during the WAAM process. A novel clustering-based outlier detection method is proposed for anomaly detection where abnormal and normal instances are categorized into two separate clusters. A new particle swarm optimization algorithm is put forward to optimize the initial cluster centroid so as to improve the detection accuracy. The proposed outlier detection method is applied to real-world data collected from a WAAM pilot line for detecting abnormal instances. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed outlier detection method. The proposed outlier detection method can be applied to other industrial applications including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and medical engineering. In the future, we aim to develop an online outlier detection system based on the proposed method for real-time for anomaly detection and defect prediction.
