Abstract: An automated analytics system can include a sensor system that obtains measurement data by monitoring one or more parameters at each of a number of locations on each of a number of replicated components of an object. A computing device receives the measurement data from the sensor system and uses the measurement data to automatically generate a computerized representation of each of the plurality of replicated components. Thereafter, upon receipt of an input query, the computing device generates a synthesized representation of the object that is specifically directed to a parameter of interest indicated in the query. The synthesized representation may be displayed in a visual format that is interpretable by a human to derive information associated with the parameter of interest.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a model building platform may receive a set of historic industrial plant parameters associated with operation of a plurality of industrial plants over a period of time. The model building platform may automatically create a generative model based on relationships detected within the set of historic industrial plant parameters. A model execution platform may then receive incomplete industrial plant information associated with a particular industrial plant, and automatically generate supplemented industrial plant data based on the received incomplete industrial plant information and the generative model. An indication of the supplemented industrial plant data may then be output.

Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for monitoring a life of a gas turbine component is disclosed. A numerical model of the gas turbine component is created and parameter measurements are obtained in real-time for at least a portion of the gas turbine component. The parameter measurements are fused with a subset of the numerical model corresponding to the portion of the gas turbine component to obtain a subset of a fused parameter model corresponding to the portion of the gas turbine component. The subset of the fused parameter model is expanded to obtain the fused parameter model that corresponds to at least a location outside of the portion of the gas turbine component. The life of the gas turbine component is monitored using the fused temperature model.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement comprises an input surface, an optical sensor, a first capacitive sensor, an evaluation unit and a device. The input surface has at least one light-permeable part surface. The optical sensor is disposed below the at least one light-permeable part surface. The first capacitive sensor is disposed below the input surface. The evaluation unit is coupled to the optical sensor and configured to carry out a light-permeability measurement of an object located on the input surface using the optical sensor. The device is configured to evaluate a change in capacitance of the first capacitive sensor. The device is connected to the first capacitive sensor and further configured to generate a first output signal if there is a change in capacitance. The evaluation unit is further configured to generate a presence signal if a measured light permeability falls below a predetermined value.
