But not critical assets.
To understand the SmartSignal difference, one must begin with the fact that every piece of equipment is unique. Even two "identical" pieces of equipment are built by different people at different times. The tolerances of their parts vary. They've been maintained and operated differently under different ambient conditions.
Unlike other methods that try to predict performance based upon techniques employing idealized models of a piece of equipment, SmartSignal uniquely analyzes every piece of equipment individually.
SmartSignal analyzes a component's operating history and employs proprietary algorithms to describe its unique normal activity under all operating modes and ambient conditions, using data available from all associated and relevant sensors working with that component. This creates a model that captures the relationships among the sensors. Real-time data, taken continuously, then is compared to the historical model. Anomalies or irregularities then are identified. |
