  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING FAILURE OF MINING MACHINE CROWD SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220137613
    Abstract: Methods for monitoring a machine are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving information on a plurality of events associated with the machine, determining a severity value for at least one event of the plurality of events, the severity value based on at least one of a safety value, a hierarchy value, a time-to-repair value, and a cost-of-repair value, and outputting an alert includes the severity value if the severity value exceeds a predetermined threshold associated with the at least one event. Systems and machine-readable media are also described.

  • Cycle decomposition analysis for remote machine monitoring
    Patent number: 8838417
    Abstract: Methods for decomposing event information for a machine are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving event data identifying events associated with a machine on a first communications channel, and receiving trend data for the machine associated with the identified events on a second communications channel separate from the first communications channel. Systems and machine-readable media are also described.
