Abstract: A method includes obtaining flow measurement data from a flow meter in an industrial process control system. The method also includes sending the flow measurement data to a cloud-based environment. The method further includes performing condition based monitoring (CBM) analysis on the flow measurement data in the cloud-based environment to determine CBM data. The method also includes performing uncertainty analysis on the CBM data in the cloud-based environment to determine a validated flow rate with an uncertainty value. The method further includes comparing the validated flow rate to the flow measurement data to determine a technically audited flow rate. The method also includes sending the technically audited flow rate to a distributed control system (DCS) associated with the flow meter.

Abstract: A universal metering cabinet (UMC) apparatus comprises an input/output (I/O) interface configured to receive at least two data streams, each of the at least two data streams received from one of at least two sensors, and each of the at least two data streams having a different connectivity protocol. The UMC further comprises a customizable programmable interface coupled with the I/O interface and configured to convert the connectivity protocol of each of the at least two data streams into a same uniform connectivity protocol. A method comprises receiving, from the UMC, at least one data stream that includes data from at least two sensors, and receiving, from at least one server, data related to an environment around the at least two sensors. The method further comprises performing data cleansing on the data stream and the data to generate validated data and performing prognostic modeling on the validated data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating condensation in a sensor module of a combustion appliance are disclosed. In one example, a fluid flow from a main conduit is cooled with a passive heat exchanger. A sensor of a sensor module may be heated to a temperature above the cooled fluid flow. Cooling the incoming fluid flow with a passive heat exchanger and/or heating the downstream flow sensor may help mitigate condensation in the sensor module, and in particular, on the sensor device. This may help increase the reliability of the system.
