  • Patent number: 11340141
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a route plan identifying a list of assets for which additional sensor data is to be acquired. A condition monitoring system can be communicatively coupled to sensors which are interfaced to assets in a collection of assets. Accordingly, the assets can be monitored for fault conditions associated with operating parameters of the assets. Based on a fault condition alarm generated for an asset, route plan input can be received by the condition monitoring system. The route plan input can be processed to determine a route plan based on matching condition monitoring attributes in the route plan input with condition monitoring attributes associated with the assets in the collection of assets.
