  • Publication number: 20230114485
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing data noise for vehicle monitoring sensors using parameter-based correction, the system including An embodiment system includes a sensor operable to make a sensor reading and generate a sensor signal, and a data server operable to acquire a condition indicator model correlating operational parameters with condition indicators, and to acquire a current condition indicator according to the sensor signal, the data server further operable to generate an adjusted condition indicator by adjusting the current condition indicator according to the condition indicator model, and to determine whether an alert condition is indicated, according to at least the adjusted condition indicator, by a condition indicator set that includes the adjusted condition indicator, and to provide an alert in response to determining that the alert condition is indicated.

  • Patent number: 11568292
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes acquiring a current condition indicator of a condition indicator set associated with an operating condition of a machine, the condition indicator set indicating sensor readings associated with an operating element of the machine under the operating condition. The method also includes determining, by a data server, a relative trend significance over a trend window of the condition indicator set based, at least in part, on an evaluation of the trend window in relation to a historical window of the condition indicator set. The method also includes determining, by the data server, whether trend criteria associated with the operating element is satisfied, where the trend criteria may include criteria related to the relative trend significance. The method also includes executing, by the data server, an alerting process in response to the determining that the trend criteria is satisfied.
