A system processes historical facility data that relate to facility states and modes of operation. The historical facility data are clustered into groups representing the facility states and the modes of operation. The groups are used to determine a current state and mode of the facility. When the facility is in a normal state, the system determines whether an event in the facility is an abnormality. If an abnormality is identified, the system transmits a signal indicating the abnormality.

A device for determining the state of a mechanical component, in which, when the component is in use, at least part of the component moves in relation to another component, particularly of drives or bearings or transmissions, using a measuring device that can determine an electrical variable or the change in an electrical variable.

Systems and methods are provided to retrieve or analyze usage data collected from a device or a facility where the device, optionally with devices are located, and identify useful features for making a diagnosis of the device. The diagnosis can be made before a system failure to reduce down time and inefficient use of the device, or after the system failure to expedite and facilitate diagnosis and repair. In addition to the usage data, such as energy and resource consumption, the system can also obtain information relating to the facility and the device's external environment which can be used for normalizing the usage data. Further, based on the diagnosis, the system can make suitable recommendations for repair, replacement, maintenance and upgrade.

Industrial processes and equipment are prone to operational changes and faulty operation of such processes and equipment can adversely affect output of the overall setup. Existing systems for monitoring and fault detection consider individual instances of data for fault detection, which may not be suitable for industrial processes. Disclosed herein is a system and a method for anomaly detection in an industrial enterprise. The system collects data from a plurality of sensors as input. The system processes the collected data along temporal dimension, during which the data is split to multiple segments of fixed window size. Data in each segment is processed to identify anomalous data, and data in segments identified as containing the anomalous data is further processed to identify one or more sensors that are faulty and are contributing to the anomalous data.

Techniques are provided herein for creating well-balanced computer-based reasoning systems and using those to control systems. The techniques include receiving a request to determine whether to use one or more particular data elements, features, cases, etc. in a computer-based reasoning model (e.g., as data elements, cases or features are being added, or as part of pruning existing features or cases). Conviction measures are determined and inclusivity conditions are tested. The result of comparing the conviction measure can be used to determine whether to include or exclude the feature, case, etc. in the model and/or whether there are anomalies in the model. A controllable system may then be controlled using the computer-based reasoning model. Examples controllable systems include self-driving cars, image labeling systems, manufacturing and assembly controls, federated systems, smart voice controls, automated control of experiments, energy transfer systems, health care systems, cybersecurity systems, and the like.

One embodiment of the present invention can provide a system for identifying a root cause of an anomaly event in operation of one or more machines is provided. During operation, the system can obtain sensor data from a set of sensors associated with the one or more machines, convert the sensor data into a set of sensor states, build an optimal DAG based on the set of sensor states to model causal dependency; determining, by using the DAG, a probability of an anomaly state of a target sensor given a state of a direct neighbor sensor, and determining a root cause of the anomaly event associated with the target sensor by back-tracking the anomaly state in the DAG.

Systems and methods for controlling industrial an industrial plant comprise: inputting an engineering diagram for a unit of the industrial plant, the engineering diagram including symbols representing assets of the industrial plant; extracting one or more assets from the engineering diagram using machine learning to recognize the one or more assets, the one or more assets including equipment, instruments, connectors, and lines, the lines relating the equipment, instruments, and connectors to one another; determining one or more relationships between the equipment, instruments, connectors, and lines to one another using machine learning to recognize the one or more relationships; and creating a flow graph from the equipment, instruments, connectors, and lines and the relationships between the equipment, instruments, connectors, and lines.

Systems and method are provided for detecting an anomaly of a sensor of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: storing a plurality of sensor correlation groups based on vehicle dynamics; processing a subset of signals based on the sensor correlation groups to determine when an anomaly exists; processing the subset of signals based on the sensor correlation group to determine which sensor of the sensor correlation group is anomalous; and generating notification data based on the sensor of the correlation group that is anomalous.

An embedded control system for a field device of an automation system includes: a diagnostic application interface to a backend server for signal analytics information, complex event pattern information, and diagnostic information; a physical process interface to a signal source for transferring signal data; a signal evaluation component for comparing received signal analytics information with received signal data to identify a first and a second event; an event processing component for applying received event pattern information to the first and second identified events to identify a first classified event; and a diagnostic reasoning component for deriving causal dependencies between the first classified event and a further classified event with regard to diagnostic information to identify a root cause for the first classified event or predict an impact of the first classified event.

Anomalies are detected in sensory data originating from components used in industrial processes. The anomaly detection includes obtaining process and alarm/fault data from a component or group of components, learning typical frequency of abnormal operation or alarm/faults, comparing new data to the learned normal operation, and identifying the data as anomalous based on a threshold value which can be tuned. Automated and efficient alarm monitoring, detection and visualization are provided.
