As a consequence,companies have large volumes of data and information that must be analyzed to give them competitiveadvantages. This is of the utmost importance in fields such as Failure Detection (FD) and PredictiveMaintenance (PdM). Finding patterns in such data is not easy, but cutting-edge technologies, such asMachine Learning (ML), can make great contributions. As a solution, this study extends HybridUnsupervised Exploratory Plots (HUEPs), as a visualization technique that combines ExploratoryProjection Pursuit (EPP) and Clustering methods. An extended formulation of HUEPs is proposed,adding for the first time the following EPP methods: Classical Multidimensional Scaling, SammonMapping and Factor Analysis. Extended HUEPs are validated in a case study associated with amultinational company in the automotive industry sector. Two real-life datasets containing datagathered from a Waterjet Cutting tool are visualized in an intuitive and informative way. The obtainedresults show that HUEPs is a technique that supports the continuous monitoring of machines in orderto anticipate failures. This contribution to visual data analytics can help companies in decision-making,regarding FD and PdM projects.
