  • Patent number: 10545845
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to assets and predictive models and corresponding workflows that are related to updating a routing table. In particular, examples involve based on a predictive model, determining that a given asset of a plurality of assets in a mesh network is likely to be unavailable within a given period of time in the future and in response to the determining, causing a routing configuration for at least one other asset in the mesh network to be updated.

  • Publication number: 20190354914
    Abstract: To distribute execution of a predictive model between multiple data analytics platforms, a first platform may be provisioned with a set of precursor detection models and a second platform may be provisioned with a set of precursor analysis models. Based on a given precursor detection model, the first platform may detect an occurrence of a given type of precursor event at a given asset and send data associated with the occurrence to the second platform. In response, the second platform may (a) identify at least one precursor analysis model that is associated with the given type of precursor event and predicts whether a given type of problem is present at an asset and (b) execute the at least one precursor analysis model to perform a deeper analysis of the occurrence and thereby output a prediction of whether the given type of problem is present at the given asset.
