  • Patent number: 9053468
    Abstract: A condition assessment system for use in monitoring the operation of at least one of a plurality of units included within a fleet of substantially similar units is described. The system includes an input device configured to receive a selection of at least one source of data related to the operation of at least one of the plurality of units. The system also includes at least one sensor associated with the at least one source of data and configured to sense data related to the operation of at least one of the plurality of units. The system also includes a condition assessment device configured to receive data from the at least one sensor, sample data associated with at least one data parameter from the received data, and generate a baseline parametric curve from the data associated with the at least one sampled data parameter.

  • Publication number: 20130116973
    Abstract: An apparatus monitoring system includes a plurality of sensors monitoring the operation of the apparatus; a real-time monitoring system that receives sensor data from the sensors according to a periodic sensor data time; and a non-real-time analysis system periodically receiving a collection of the sensor data from the real-time monitoring system. The non-real-time analysis system analyzes a plurality of the collections over a time greater than the periodic sensor data time and provides the results of the analysis to the real-time monitoring system during a subsequent periodic sensor data time. The real-time monitoring system outputs a combination of the sensor data and the analysis results according to the periodic sensor data time.
