## Abstract (arXiv)

Industrial NILM remains challenging because measurement noise and widespread concurrent machine operation reduce the generalization of models tuned on residential data. This work adopts a one-to-many, multi-task disaggregation setting, in which a single network estimates multiple industrial machine loads from aggregate power. Under a unified evaluation protocol on IMDELD, we benchmark Seq2Seq, Seq2SubSeq, Seq2Point, GRU, and WaveNet using energy-estimation metrics and the accuracy-delay criterion. While Seq2Point offers a stronger accuracy-delay balance than Seq2Seq/Seq2SubSeq, GRU and WaveNet achieve higher accuracy at markedly higher computational cost. To close this gap, we propose SEDR-Seq2P, a lightweight Seq2Point extension with dilated residual blocks and squeeze-and-excitation attention. Relative to the Seq2Point baseline, SEDR-Seq2P reduces MAE by approximately 7%, improves the coefficient of determination by approximately 1%, and increases the match rate by approximately 0.8%. In addition, compared to WaveNet, SEDR-Seq2P reduces inference latency by approximately 58%, yielding a favorable accuracy-delay trade-off for scalable industrial deployment.
