MACHINE LEARNING (ML)-BASED AUTO-VISUALIZATION OF PLANT ASSETS
A machine learning (ML) based asset monitoring system that automatically determines damage mechanisms (DMs) and generates automatically updated visualizations of assets that include equipment and lines of a processing plant is disclosed. The asset monitoring system is communicatively coupled to the assets of the plant and continuously receives process parameters associated with the various processes and equipment in the plant. Corrosion loops (CLs) are identified and automatically demarcated by the asset monitoring system. DMs are predicted for each of the assets using a ML model based on the process parameters and the corrosion loops. The data regarding the DMs, CLs and the process parameters are used to obtain equipment risk rankings for the assets. Multi-dimensional visualizations of the assets that display the state of the plant assets in real-time are generated.

INTEGRATED BUSINESS OPERATIONS EFFICIENCY RISK MANAGEMENT
A method for closed-loop real-time lifecycle risk management identifies, assesses, reviews and mitigates risks. Historically identified data stored in the databases are loaded, one or more users fill out questionnaires and various factors contributing to determination of the risks are calculated. If a risk is classified as an intolerable risk, the risk is notified to interested parties. A user may use the integrated risk management system to systematically and accurately identify a root cause of an error. The user may start from the highest level of the lifecycle of a product and assess the risk, followed by narrowing down the scope of an error by successively going down to lower production levels of the product. The steps may be processed in real time using remote devices connected to a server. The system allows different access levels to various users.
