Anomaly detection (AD) is a crucial process often required in industrial settings. Anomalies can signal underlying issues within a system, prompting further investigation. Industrial processes aim to streamline operations as much as possible, encompassing the production of the final product, making AD an essential mean to reach this goal.Conventional anomaly detection methodologies typically classify observations as either normal or anomalous without providing insight into the reasons behind these classifications.Consequently, in light of the emergence of Industry 5.0, a more desirable approach involves providing interpretable outcomes, enabling users to understand the rationale behind the results.This paper presents the first industrial application of ExIFFI, a recently developed approach focused on the production of fast and efficient explanations for the Extended Isolation Forest (EIF) Anomaly detection method. ExIFFI is tested on two publicly available industrial datasets demonstrating superior effectiveness in explanations and computational efficiency with the respect to other state-of-the-art explainable AD models.
