  • Publication number: 20140188777
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system for identifying a precursor to a failure of a particular type of component in a physical system is provided. The physical system includes sensors coupled to the physical system. The computer-implemented system includes a computing device, a database, a processor, and a memory device. The memory device includes historical data including sensor measurements. When instructions are executed by the processor, the processor receives the historical data from the memory device. The processor generates a predictive model. The predictive model uses, as inputs, sensor measurements in the historical data. The predictive model is able to differentiate between sensor measurements taken before the repair event and those taken after the repair event without a time of the repair event being an input to the predictive model. The processor designates at least one sensor measurements used as inputs to the predictive model as precursors to the failure of the component.

  • Patent number: 8352216
    Abstract: A method for advanced condition monitoring of an asset system includes sensing actual values of an operating condition for an operating regime of the asset system using at least one sensor; estimating sensed values of the operating condition by using an auto-associative neural network; determining a residual vector between the estimated sensed values and the actual values; and performing a fault diagnostic on the residual vector. In another method, an operating space of the asset system is segmented into operating regimes; the auto-associative neural network determines estimates of actual measured values; a residual vector is determined from the auto-associative neural network; a fault diagnostic is performed on the residual vector; and a change of the operation of the asset system is determined by analysis of the residual vector. An alert is provided if necessary. A smart sensor system includes an on-board processing unit for performing the method of the invention.
