Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, edge computing, and industrial and financial–industrial digital systems, large volumes of multisource hardware sensing signals are continuously generated in complex production environments, including environmental, electrical, vibration, network communication, and device operational signals. Owing to the heterogeneity, asynchrony, noise interference, and disturbance sensitivity of these signals, conventional state prediction methods often fail to sufficiently characterize the dynamic response relationships among different sensing sources and cannot maintain stable prediction performance under non-stationary scenarios such as load surges, network congestion, and device anomalies. To address these challenges, a multisource hardware sensing signal fusion network is proposed for the edge-computing and digital production test scenario of an intelligent equipment manufacturing enterprise in Hebei Province, China, with the aim of achieving robust state prediction and anomaly perception in complex digital systems. In the proposed method, environmental sensing, device power, edge-node operation, vibration monitoring, network communication, and system output states are uniformly modeled as multisource engineering sensing signals, and an end-to-end prediction framework is constructed with cross-source sensing signal alignment to facilitate temporal coherence, disturbance-aware residual correction to substantially mitigate disturbance contamination, and context-adaptive fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the best performance in the overall state prediction task, with MAE, RMSE, MAPE, and R2 reaching 0.0968, 0.1457, 8.12%, and 0.9416, respectively, outperforming baseline methods including ARIMA, XGBoost, LightGBM, LSTM, TCN, Transformer, Attention Fusion, and Multimodal Transformer. In the disturbance robustness experiment, the Event-MAE and Event-RMSE of the proposed method are reduced to 0.1126 and 0.1694, respectively, with an Avg. Drop of only 28.98%, indicating that more stable responses can be achieved under non-stationary disturbance scenarios. In the abnormal-state recognition task, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score values of 94.32%, 93.76%, 92.85%, and 93.30% are achieved, respectively. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively improve the state prediction accuracy, disturbance robustness, and anomaly warning capability of multisource hardware sensing data in complex industrial and financial–industrial digital systems, thereby providing an effective modeling scheme for intelligent monitoring and engineering decision-making in AI-driven industrial and financial sensing scenarios.
