This paper uses the Hidden Markov Model to model an industrial process seen as a discrete event system. Different graphical structures based on Markov automata, called topologies, are proposed. We designed a Synthetic Hidden Markov Model based on a real industrial process. This Synthetic Model is intended to produce industrial maintenance observations (or “symbols”), with a corresponding degrad...
