  • Patent number: 11256243
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detection in an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) data collection environment with intelligent data collection and equipment package adjustment for oil and gas equipment are disclosed. An example monitoring system for data collection in an oil and gas production environment can include a data collector communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels connected to data collection points operatively coupled to at least one piece of equipment of an equipment package of the oil and gas production environment. The system further includes a data acquisition circuit to interpret detection values from the plurality of input channels and a data analysis circuit to utilize an expert system diagnostic tool to identify an off-nominal process state based on the detection values. The system may further include a response circuit to adjust an equipment package parameter in response to the off-nominal process state.

  • Patent number: 10921801
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems for data collection in an industrial environment. A system can include an industrial system including a plurality of components, at least one component operatively coupled to a sensor, and a sensor communication circuit to interpret a plurality of sensor data values in response to a sensed parameter group. A pattern recognition circuit may determine a recognized pattern value in response to at least a portion of the data values, wherein the recognized pattern value includes a secondary value. A sensor learning circuit may update the sensed parameter group in response to the recognized pattern value and adjust the interpreting the plurality of sensor data values in response to the updated sensed parameter group. The pattern recognition circuit and the sensor learning circuit iteratively determine the recognized pattern value and update the sensed parameter group to improve a sensing performance value.
