Abstract

A computing system may be configured to obtain operating data for a manufacturing network that comprises a plurality of edge nodes, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a root node. Based on the operating data, the computing system may determine a respective critical state indicator for each node in at least a given segment of the manufacturing network. Based on the respective critical state indicator for each node in the given segment, the computing system may recursively determine a respective health score for each node in the given segment of the manufacturing network. Based on the respective health score for each node in the given segment of the manufacturing network, the computing system may identify one or more nodes in the given segment that are anomalous and cause a client station to present a report of the one or more nodes that are identified to be anomalous.
