Canary Edge ships with a powerful generic model that works out of the box. For production workloads, setting a baseline for each machine fine-tunes a dedicated predictor that learns the specific patterns of your equipment.

When to Set a Baseline

  • Your time series has unique seasonal patterns
  • The generic model produces too many false positives
  • You need maximum sensitivity for critical equipment
  • You want regime classification (HEALTHY/ACTIVE/TRANSITION/SHOCK)

How It Works

  1. Send normal operating data via POST /v1/baseline with a machine_id
  2. Canary Edge computes energy statistics and trains a lightweight predictor (~462K params) in seconds
  3. Future detection calls with that machine_id use the fine-tuned model automatically
  4. Detection accuracy typically improves from ~82% (generic) to 97%+ (fine-tuned)

Setting a Baseline

Only send energy scores from normal operating data for baseline creation. Including anomalous data will degrade detection accuracy.

Checking a Baseline

Response:

Requirements

  • Minimum 100 energy values for a reliable baseline
  • Data should represent at least one full operational cycle
  • All data should be from normal, healthy operation

Machine Status

Once a baseline is set, check machine status:
