A system for performing sensor data analytics for equipment diagnostics featuring an alarm signature and diagnostic detector having a signal processor configured to receive signaling containing information about an alarm signature for sensed data that is time-stamped for captured alarm signature parameters in order to monitor rotary equipment, and also about diagnostic detector signatures for diagnostic detectors related to alarm conditions for the rotary equipment; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about an alarm diagnosis based upon a match between the alarm signature and one of the diagnostic detector signatures contained in the signaling received.

To assist appropriately in performing a recovery operation of a device. A guidance information presentation apparatus includes: a guidance information receiving unit configured to acquire guidance information including access information and safety information, the access information including a moving route to reach an estimated location of a failure in an apparatus as a recovery target, and an operation procedure, the safety information indicating safety of the moving route and the operation procedure in the access information; and a guidance information displaying unit configured to perform, on a basis of the guidance information, notification for a guidance of the moving route to the estimated location of the failure in the apparatus as the recovery target, and the operation procedure, and notification that indicates the safety of the moving route and the operation procedure.

A notification device is provided with: an abnormality estimation unit for estimating a state relating to an abnormality of a plant and a factor relating to the abnormality of the plant; an item specifying unit for specifying inspection items on the basis of the abnormality of the plant and the state relating to the factor relating to the abnormality of the plant estimated by the abnormality estimation unit; a notification unit for notifying of the inspection items specified by the item specifying unit; a stop-time item specifying unit for specifying the inspection items which should be checked at a time of a stop out of the inspection items specified by the item specifying unit; a check result acquisition unit for receiving a check result for the inspection items notified of by the notification unit; and a stop-time item output unit for outputting the inspection items which should be checked at the time of stop.

A monitoring method of a manufacturing execution system (MES), a monitoring device, and a readable storage medium are provided. The monitoring method of the MES includes: reading log files of applications of an MES distributed on multiple servers and monitoring business operation information of the MES according to the log files. Based on this, this can make up for a gap in MES service monitoring and timely respond to abnormal production conditions. In addition, operators do not need to perform log query on each server.

A system and method for providing prescriptive analytics in an industrial process wherein a machine tap collects raw performance data from a machine, a machine user interface collects context data on operation of the machine, a server aggregates the performance data and context data, and an analytics engine analyzes the performance data and context data and generates analytics data. An alert engine compares the performance data, context data, and analytics data against a trigger definition, creates an alert if the trigger definition is satisfied, and sends the alert to a remote device to provide prescriptive guidance for improving process performance.

A method of identifying a historical alert that is similar to an alert associated with a detected deviation from an operational state of a device includes receiving feature data including time series data for multiple sensor devices associated with the device and receiving an alert indicator for the alert. The method includes processing a portion of the feature data that is within a temporal window associated with the alert indicator to generate feature importance data for the alert. The feature importance data includes values indicating relative importance of each of the sensor devices to the alert. The method also includes identifying one or more historical alerts that are most similar, based on the feature importance data and stored feature importance data, to the alert.

A failure diagnostic system of a motor encoder is disclosed and includes a motor, an encoder, a servo driver, and a safety module. The servo driver controls the motor through a current command. The safety module continuously obtains a feedback position of the motor through the encoder. When the safety module determines based on the feedback position that the current state of the motor is consistent with a pre-determined disturbance condition, the safety module requests the servo driver to output an additional current command to disturb the motor. Next, the safety module determines whether the encoder is failure based on a variation of following feedback position.

A method and a device for detecting the oil level in a hydraulic pulse unit at an impulse type power wrench, wherein the pulse unit comprises an oil filled pulse chamber, a motor driven inertia drive member, and a kinetic energy receiving member connected to an output shaft and intermittently coupled to the inertia drive member via an oil cushion to receive kinetic energy from the inertia drive member during repeated energy transfer phases. The rotation speed of the inertia drive member is measured both at the start of a pulse generating phase and at the end of that phase, wherein the two measured speeds are compared to each other, and when the speed at the end of the pulse generating phase exceeds the speed at the end of that phase by a certain percentage a faulty signal is emitted indicating a too low oil level in the pulse unit.

A motor leakage current detector and/or a heat compensating circuit, devices using same and related methods are disclosed herein. Included are a uniquely wired current transformer to allow for polarity agnostic leakage current detection, a leakage current detector using same and having a notifier to alert a user. In other forms, an accessory power cord and power strip are disclosed capable of detecting early motor failure conditions. In still other forms, other machinery failure early warning systems are disclosed as are numerous motor operated devices using same including without limitation pumps.

A rotary encoder includes a stator, a malfunction determination device, and a shaft having a bearing configuration internally connected to an axial bushing arranged in a housing. The bearing configuration provides for rotation of the shaft relative to the housing. A rotor is attached to the shaft. The malfunction determination device includes a detection device configured to determine whether a connection device is operably connected between a fixed portion of the encoder and the bushing, and to output the status of the connection to a control device. If there is no connection, the detection device determines a rotation of the bushing associated with a malfunction of the bearing configuration.
