Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that optimize operation of manufacturing plants by adjusting the operation of manufacturing devices in manufacturing plants based on an assessment of their operations. Methods may include obtaining, from a first set of sensors, vibration data specifying vibration in a manufacturing device of a manufacturing plant. The vibration data may be processed to identify a vibration signature. Based on the vibration signature and known vibration signatures, a first operational state of the manufacturing device may be determined. One or more operational characteristics of the manufacturing device may be adjusted based on the first operational state of the manufacturing device, to achieve a second operational state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that can adjust operations of a manufacturing plant based on an assessment of risk to the plant's operations posed by the conditions and/or operations of the different devices in the manufacturing plant. Methods may include obtaining, using a set of sensors, a set of current operational characteristics for a plurality of plant devices in a manufacturing plant. For a particular plant device, a set of risk factors corresponding to a failure of the particular plant device can be analyzed. Based on the set of risk factors, an overall risk posed by the particular plant device to operations of the manufacturing plant can be determined. Based on the overall risk, one or more operations of the manufacturing plant can be adjusted.
