Fuzzy data processing enables data enrichment and increases data interpretation in industrial environments. In the cloud-based IoT data ingestion pipelines, fuzzy data processing can be implemented in several locations, closer to the IoT events gateways, stream processors, or the persistence layer before the data is visualized. Since Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)-enabled manufacturing can produce vast amounts of data, the decision on the placement of the fuzzy data processing can be important for secondary processes performed on the enriched data, like the predictive maintenance inferencing. In this paper, we analyze two locations of fuzzy data processing in the cloud-based environment built for monitoring AGVs in smart factories - by formulating fuzzy queries against data streams on stream processing units and data at rest in a database. The querying scenarios cover fuzzy filtering with simple and complex criteria, fuzzy filtering through assignment to a linguistic variable, and joining data streams by representing joining attributes as fuzzy numbers. The experimental results show that querying the data stream can be more efficient and profitable in the scalable environment of many AGVs. However, the enrichment provided for the data at rest is also beneficial when gathering data for building future predictive maintenance models.

Detection and prediction of failures in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) are essential for the uninterrupted operation of production plants. Anomaly detection is usually achieved by comparing expected measurement values with actual observations. Thus, it is crucial to predict telemetry signals properly. In this paper, we research the prediction of energy consumption using state-of-the-art Artificial Neural Networks architectures (SCINet) compared with other Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) approaches on the data streams acquired from CoBotAGV. We especially focus on the possibility of applying feature weighting. We show that it can improve prediction capabilities. We also investigate resource utilization in terms of time to fit the embedded AGV environment.
