MULTI-ENGINE MODELING FOR MONITORING, DIAGNOSTICS, OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL

摘要

Modular analytics engines are provided for industrial automation applications. The engines may be instantiated on a data-driven basis, such as by receipt of a data structure comprising annotated data relating to a machine or process to be monitored and/or controlled. The modules may comprise, for example, modules for modeling the machine or process, classification modules, optimization modules, and control modules. Output of the modules may comprise data structures, and these may be used as inputs to the same type or different types of modules. Multiple of the modules may be instantiated at the same level in the machine or process, or at different levels, such as in a department, institution, factory, or enterprise.
