Abstract: An industrial process analysis system is disclosed The system comprises a process data connection device for the acquisition of process data from process data source, an input system for receiving at least one search instruction, an indexing system for indexing the process data to create a set of indexed process data a data processing device for processing the at least one search instruction to create a search parameter set and comparing distances of members of the search parameter set with corresponding members of the indexed process data to obtain a similarity value; and an output device to display results based on the similarity value.

Abstract: An online monitoring method and system (10) is disclosed. The system comprises a process data connection device (20) for the acquisition of a first set of process data (30) coming from a process data source (40), an input system (50) for the creation of a process fingerprint (60), a storage device (70) for storing the created process fingerprint (60), a data processing device (80) for calculating the distance between the stored process fingerprint (60) and the new sets of process data (30), a management device (75) for managing which fingerprints need to be evaluated and a feedback device (77) which handles the actions that need to be performed based on detection such as displaying the distance (90) on an output device (100).
