From Building Blocks to the Embedded Condition Monitoring System

Four partners - two SMEs and two research institutes - have united forces to elaborate principles and building blocks to be exploitable for the embedded condition monitoring system with advanced features. Existing novel kind of probabilistic logic was selected for propagation and compounding of information within the hierarchical distributed system, taking pervasive uncertainty of available data into account. Efficient algorithms were developed for teal-time quantification of uncertainty of measured signals. Significant effort is devoted to meaningful transformation of the probabilistic outputs into clear notifications for operators and maintenance personnel. Variety of particular solutions take advantage of the specific expertise of the involved partners and allow consideration of various future applications. Currently, the system is in the stage of testing in a metal-processing plant.
