Generative AI for Real-Time Industrial Anomaly Detection

Industrial facilities such as oil and gas plants operate with tight safety and compliance requirements. Manual inspections of gauges, doors, and equipment often cause delays in identifying critical anomalies. Generative AI provided a way to deliver continuous, real-time monitoring.

Industry: Oil & Gas / Industrial Facilities

Problem:

Safety-critical facility checks (gauges, doors, thermal anomalies) were conducted manually and intermittently. This created time lags in detecting hazardous conditions, raising both safety and operational risks.

Solution:

Implemented a generative AI-powered anomaly detection system using existing camera infrastructure. The platform continuously monitored feeds, intelligently detecting out-of-spec readings, unauthorized access, and thermal anomalies. Non-technical staff could configure new monitoring rules via natural language input.

Technology Stack:

• Gemini (Vertex AI)

• Cloud Run

• Pub/Sub

• AlloyDB

Impact:

Enabled immediate, real-time detection of critical anomalies, improving safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Empowered non-technical users with natural language tools to expand monitoring without developer input.
