SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING DATA COLLECTED IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT USING NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

Methods and an expert system for processing a plurality of inputs collected from sensors in an industrial environment are disclosed. A modular neural network, where the expert system uses one type of neural network for recognizing a pattern relating to at least one of: the sensors, components of the industrial environment and a different neural network for self-organizing a data collection activity in the industrial environment is disclosed. A data communication network configured to communicate at least a portion of the plurality of inputs collected from the sensors to storage device is also disclosed.
