Abstract:
Methods, computer program products, and systems are provided herein for providing predictive maintenance for an industrial cleaning device. An example method includes receiving operational data indicating operational parameters associated with the industrial cleaning device during operation thereof. The method further includes identifying a trend in the operational data. The method further includes determining that a particular fault event associated with the industrial cleaning device is likely to occur within a particular time frame. The method further includes providing an alert indicating that the particular fault event is likely to occur within the particular time frame.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing components of physical systems, including decomposing raw time series by extracting an aging trend and a fluctuation term from the time series using an objective function of an optimization problem, the objective function minimizing reconstruction error and ensuring flatness of the fluctuation term over time. The optimization problem is transformed into a Quadratic Programming (QP) formulation including a monotonicity constraint and a non-negativity constraint, the constraints being merged together to reduce computational costs. An aging score and a confidence score are generated for the extracted aging trend to determine a severeness of aging for one or more components of the physical system, and the aging score and confidence score are fused to provide a fused ranking for the extracted aging trend for predicting future failures of the components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to control, monitoring and automation. The present invention more specifically relates to pattern-based intelligent control, monitoring and automation. The invention performs pattern-based monitoring. It collects signal data from one or more signals. The signal data define signal data streams. It then transforms each of the signal data streams into trends. It also discovers patterns based on the trends within each signal data stream and/or across the signal data streams. The patterns are optionally used for diagnostics and root cause analysis, online plant monitoring and operation control, plant optimization, and other environments where a causal link or correlation may exist between related inputs, states and/or outputs.
Abstract:
Condition signals of machines are observed and one or more discontinuities are detected in the condition signals. The discontinuities in the condition signals are compensated for (e.g., by applying a shifting factor to models of the signals) and trends of the compensated condition signals are determined. The trends are used to predict future fault conditions in machines. Kalman filters comprising observation models and evolution models are used to determine the trends. Discontinuity in observed signals is detected using hypothesis testing.
Abstract:
A condition of an industrial process is diagnosed based upon process variable information related to a value of a measured process variable. Histogram information is calculated based upon the determined process variable information and. time information related to a duration of time the measured process variable has the value. Condition of the industrial process is diagnosed based upon the calculated histogram information.
Abstract:
The present invention such as active diagnostic algorithms is developed not only to realize the early detection of degraded vacuum pumps for the protection of pump failure but also to provide their predictive maintenance. According to the present invention, it is possible to find simple and effective ways to deal with technical problems arising from the large variability of the pump-by-pump operation characteristics and the multiple process conditions where pumps run under the idle operation and gas-loaded operation conditions alternately, especially in semiconductor manufacturing process.
Abstract:
A process control monitoring system for a process control plant uses graphic trend symbols to assist in detecting and monitoring trends of process variables within the process control plant. A graphic display application within the process control monitoring system may implement and display each graphic trend symbol to graphically indicate or encapsulate current trend and value information of a process variable within the process control plant. The graphic display application may display the graphic trend symbol in a spatially realistic location within a graphical representation of the process control plant while maintaining the hierarchical structure or each hierarchical level of the process plant. The graphic display application may also include a zoom feature that enables a user to quickly drill down through tend data to obtain more information and to support problem identification and diagnosis tasks.
Abstract:
A health index can be determined from vibration signatures arising out of an analysis of vibration by using a combination of frequency analysis (e.g. crest factor, side-band factor), analyses done in time domain and so on. The health index (HI) can thus be a function of one or more of these vibration signatures and a corresponding weighting factor. Where the Health Index is low, point 1, a frequency analysis of the vibration data shows that the wind turbine, or in this case a bearing component thereof, is healthy. At point 2, the Health Index has increased, and a frequency analysis of the vibration data shows significant damage to the component. At point 3, a further analysis of the vibration data shows that the condition of the component is worsening. At point 4, the Health Index has increased further, and a frequency analysis of the vibration data shows indicates that the bearing should be replaced.
Abstract:
Methods for predicting a machine event are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data for current events for the machine, and determining whether the data for the current events is within operational limits. The method also includes, when the data for the current events is within operational limits, determining, using a predetermined model, whether an anomaly exists, and generating an alert including information on the anomaly when the anomaly exists. Systems and machine-readable media are also described.
