The methods and systems for data collection, processing, and utilization of signals with a platform monitoring at least a first element in a first machine in an industrial environment generally include obtaining, automatically with a computing environment, at least a first sensor signal and a second sensor signal with a local data collection system that monitors at least the first machine and connecting a first input of a crosspoint switch of the local data collection system to a first sensor and a second input of the crosspoint switch to a second sensor in the local data collection system. The methods and systems also include switching between a condition in which a first output of the crosspoint switch alternates between delivery of at least the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal and a condition in which there is simultaneous delivery of the first sensor signal from the first output and the second sensor signal from a second output of the crosspoint switch and switching off unassigned outputs of the crosspoint switch into a high-impedance state. The local data collection system includes multiple data acquisition units each having an onboard card set that store calibration information and maintenance history of a data acquisition unit in which the onboard card set is located.

A system includes a first asset and a second asset disposed at an industrial system, and a server communicatively coupled to the first asset and the second asset. The server device is configured to receive a first set of stream-based data from the first asset and generate a model for the second asset based on the first set of stream-based data, wherein the model is configured to output an expected set of stream-based data associated with the second asset; receive a second set of stream-based data from the second asset; and send a command to the first asset or the second asset in response to the second set of stream-based data being outside of a threshold from the expected set of stream-based data.
