  • Publication number: 20230281800
    Abstract: A method for predicting a time to a failure condition of an asset includes a first model, trained to reconstruct input image pairs to resemble a healthy condition asset. Similarity coefficients are generated for respective historical image pairs that include a visible-light and infrared light image by use of the reconstructed image pair by the first model as a similarity base and the respective historical image pairs include a timestamp of image capture. A second model is trained to predict a time to a failure condition of the asset based on similarity coefficients and timestamps of real-time image pair capture, timestamps of an asset failure condition, and similarity coefficients of the respective historical images. Responsive to receipt of a first real-time image pair, the method computes a predicted time to the failure condition of the asset.

  • Patent number: 11688059
    Abstract: A method for predicting a time to a failure condition of an asset receives image pairs of a healthy condition asset and historical image pairs of the asset from inspections and at a failure condition of the asset. A first model is trained to rebuild input images to resemble a healthy condition asset. Similarity coefficients are generated for the historical image pairs of a regular and infrared image by use of the rebuilding of images by the first model as a similarity base and historical image pairs include a timestamp of image capture. A second model is trained to predict a time to an asset failure condition based on timestamps of image capture, timestamps of an asset failure condition, and similarity coefficients of the historical images. Responsive to receipt of a real-time image pair, the method computes a predicted time to a failure condition of the asset.

  • Patent number: 11551173
    Abstract: Weather data, asset variable values, and failure data may be received. A correlation factor may be generated by comparing the weather data and the asset variable values. One or more weather variables may be selected based on the correlation factor. A predicted asset variable value may be determined based on the weather data and the selected weather variables. The weather data and the predicted asset variable values may be compared to predict a failure probability for a first asset segment.

  • Patent number: 11521142
    Abstract: A method for asset maintenance includes determining a location of an asset, receiving meteorological data corresponding to the location, determining forecasted meteorological conditions for the asset from the meteorological data, determining a forecasted probability of degradation or failure of the asset based, at least in part, on the forecasted meteorological conditions, and dispatching asset maintenance services for the asset responsive to determining that the forecasted probability of degradation or failure of the asset is above a selected threshold. The method may also include collecting sensor data corresponding to the asset, and determining the forecasted probability of degradation or failure of the asset based, at least in part, on the forecasted meteorological conditions and the sensor data. A corresponding apparatus, computer program product, and computer system are also disclosed herein.
