Anomaly detection (AD) can arguably be a value-add to any industry. It may not be a core product, but AD can help optimize operations for almost anyone.

* Manufacturing: Computer vision to pick anomalies off the assembly line.

* Operation: Accelerometers/temperature sensors w/ frequency analysis to detect onset of faults (prognostics / diagnostics) and do predictive maintenance.

* Sales: Timeseries analyses on numbers / support calls to detect up/downticks in cashflows, customer satisfaction etc.
