Updated:

ATM networks generate vast amounts of operational data—from transaction logs to sensor readings—yet still experience an average of 12.5 hours of downtime per machine annually, with 22% of failures occurring due to predictable component degradation. These incidents not only disrupt service but also incur significant maintenance costs, averaging $3,000 per emergency repair visit.

The fundamental challenge lies in transforming high-volume, heterogeneous data streams into actionable maintenance insights while balancing the cost of preventive interventions against the risk of service interruptions.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including LSTM-based multi-indicator monitoring systems, digital twin modeling for component health prediction, power supply degradation detection, and machine learning approaches for optimizing maintenance schedules. These and other approaches aim to reduce unplanned downtime while optimizing maintenance resource allocation across ATM networks.

1. Machine Learning Model for Anomaly Detection in Time-Series Data with Noise-Augmented Training

Oracle International Corporation, 2024

Training a machine learning model to predict target operating values for monitored devices like meters, and then using the model to identify anomalies in the actual operating values. The model is trained on a combination of real data and fake data with noise, and learns relationships between successive time-series values. By comparing predicted values to actual values, anomalies can be detected. The approach involves adding noise to some training data points to teach the model to handle variance, and ranking anomalies based on patterns to prioritize remediation.

2. Machine Learning-Based Prediction System for Power Supply Degradation Detection in Automated Teller Machines

NCR Corporation, 2024

Proactively detecting power supply degradation in ATMs before failure to prevent downtime and customer inconvenience. The method involves training a machine learning model using historical maintenance records to predict scores indicating likelihood of power supply degradation based on preprocessed ATM event data. The scores are reported to the ATM's enterprise, allowing proactive action like closely monitoring or replacing the power supply if scores exceed thresholds.

3. Data Analytics System with Configurable Domain-Specific Insight Providers and Chainable Processing Pipeline

SAP SE, 2023

A data analytics system for automated insight generation in domains like predictive maintenance of devices. The system uses self-contained insight providers, each with a domain-specific model and configurable parameters, to analyze asset data. The providers can operate in filter or enrichment modes. A pipeline of providers can be chained. The system provides a user interface to interact with the providers and drill into analytics results. It aims to enable broader use of data analytics by providing specialized, easily configurable, and chainable insight providers instead of complex data science.

4. AI-Based Predictive Maintenance Platform with Real-Time Data Processing and Feature Extraction

Accenture Global Solutions Limited, 2023

Preventative maintenance and customer service platform that uses AI to predict future events and determine preventative solutions. It processes real-time and historical data to find future events, extracts features to prioritize solutions, and generates an intelligent assistant to perform them. This reduces service requests by addressing issues proactively instead of waiting for customer complaints.

5. ATM Security System with Self-Learning State Transition Analysis

CITICORP CREDIT SERVICES, INC. (USA), 2022

Automated self-learning ATM security system that enables an ATM to decide whether its security is under threat and learn to fight such threat in real time using means made available to the ATM when the threat arises. The system involves extracting data points from the ATM's transition flows between states and generating rules for each transition based on the extracted data. If a new transition's data doesn't match existing rules, it's flagged as potentially unsafe. This allows the ATM to learn from its own mistakes and adapt its security without external intervention or static rules.

6. Asset Health Scoring via Digital Twin-Based Characteristic Matching and Health Formula Application

International Business Machines Corporation, 2022

Determining asset health scores using digital twin resources to provide more accurate and trustworthy asset health predictions. The method involves retrieving a digital twin with similar characteristics to a physical asset and using its health formula to predict the physical asset's health score. This leverages the digital twin's detailed data and modeling to provide more reliable health assessments for physical assets.

7. ATM Replenishment Scheduling System Utilizing Machine Learning with User Persona Analysis and Deep Learning Integration

International Business Machines Corporation, 2022

Optimizing ATM replenishment schedules using machine learning to analyze user data and generate more accurate forecasts. It retrieves unstructured user data like social media posts, generates user personas, then combines with structured transaction data and deep learning to create optimal replenishment schedules. The user personas provide insight into user behavior and consumption patterns beyond just transaction history. This allows predicting when an ATM will run out based on user characteristics and generating optimized schedules for replenishment.

8. Automated Device Configuration Analysis and Resolution System Using Machine Learning for Predictive Issue Prevention

Dell Products L.P., 2022

Automated device issue resolution using machine learning to predict and prevent configuration-based issues in devices. The system learns from historical data to identify device configurations that lead to issues and recommends resolutions. It then automatically applies those resolutions to similar devices to prevent issues before they occur. The machine learning models determine device issues and similarity, and recommend actions based on learned configurations. This provides proactive device self-healing by predicting issues and resolving them across similar devices.

9. Hardware Device Maintenance Scheduling Method Using Predictive Failure Scores and Business Impact Prioritization

KYNDRYL, INC., 2022

Prioritizing maintenance schedules for hardware devices like ATMs using predictive failure scores that are prioritized by business impacts. The method involves generating predictive failure scores for each device, setting windows for servicing, determining missed services, prioritizing devices by business impact factors, and generating schedules with lower priority devices having missed services. This maximizes business impact by focusing maintenance on devices with the highest predicted failures and the greatest business impact if unserviced.

10. Multi-Indicator Anomaly Detection System Utilizing Long Short-Term Memory Model

Advanced New Technologies Co., Ltd., 2021

Simultaneously monitoring multiple system indicators using a long short-term memory (LSTM) model trained on historical data. The LSTM model can learn co-movement relationships between indicators from historical data. By inputting historical data into the LSTM and comparing it to real-time data, anomalies in co-movements between indicators can be detected. This avoids false alarms and missed anomalies from single indicator monitoring.

11. Cash Demand Prediction System with Dynamic Formula Selection Based on Inflow/Outflow Day Indicators

NEC CORPORATION, 2021

Cash demand prediction system that improves accuracy and interpretability by dynamically selecting the prediction formula based on whether it's a day with expected cash inflow/outflow. The system generates predicting data with a flag indicating if it's a day like payday or pension payment. A learned model with prediction formulae for different explanatory variable values is used. The prediction device selects the formula based on the flag value in the predicting data, then applies it to predict cash demand. This allows tailoring the prediction to day-specific factors for better accuracy.

12. Adaptive Model Selection System for Predictive Equipment Maintenance Using Machine Learning

HITACHI, LTD., 2021

Intelligent maintenance recommendation system that uses machine learning to predict equipment failures and optimize maintenance schedules. The system learns failure prediction models from historical data and continuously evaluates and switches between models based on cost functions to minimize false alarms and missed failures. It applies the best model to equipment for a period, then re-evaluates and switches based on feedback. This adaptive model selection improves prediction accuracy compared to fixed models.
