20220155184 · 2022-05-19 ·

Various embodiments described herein relate to an anomaly detection framework adaptable to different asset types. In this regard, a data stream associated with a first asset is received. The data stream is then processed to generate output data by encoding the data stream based on historical data associated with the first asset, the historical data comprising clustered data representative of fault states and one or more non-fault states. Furthermore, in accordance with a determination that the generated output data is indicative of a potential fault of the first asset, fault data indicative of the potential fault is generated and caused to be transmitted to an administrative device for display.

Method of predicting failure events for reciprocating compressors

A system and process for predicting the failure of a machine begins with the step of loading a slope signature library into the control system, in which the slope signature library correlates time-to-failure based on rates of change of one or more measured conditions. The process includes the steps of activating the machine, determining baseline measurements, and detecting an out-of-spec measurement. Once an out-of-spec measurement is made, the process includes the determination of the rate of change for the out-of-spec measurement. A slope signature is calculated based on the rate of change for the measured condition, which is compared against the slope signature library to determine a predicted time-to-failure based on the calculated slope signature, and outputting the predicted time-to-failure. The process can be used to modify the operation of the machine to extend the predicted time-to-failure.
