SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MONITORING AN INDUSTRIAL PLANT

摘要

This disclosure is related to an industrial plant monitoring system configured to monitor equipment an industrial plant. The industrial plant monitoring system includes one or more processors, an autonomous vehicle including at least one sensor, a plant information management system including a navigation module, a communication module, and an analysis module. The navigation module is configured to retrieve a trajectory from a trajectory database. The sensors present on the autonomous vehicle are configured to collect sensor data related to the equipment. The communication module is configured to receive the sensor data from sensors and transmit the sensor data to a plant information management system. The analysis module is configured to receive the sensor data from the communication module, the analysis module being configured to detect an event related to the industrial plant based on the sensor data and historic sensor data.

1. A method for monitoring an industrial plant, comprising:
retrieving, by a navigation module, a trajectory from a trajectory database, navigating, by the navigation module, an autonomous vehicle to a waypoint present in the trajectory, wherein the waypoint is identified with respect to a model of the industrial plant; collecting sensor data, by at least one sensor on the autonomous vehicle; receiving the sensor data, by a communication module, from the at least one sensor; transmitting, by the communication module, the sensor data to an analysis module; and detecting, by the analysis module, an event related to the industrial plant based on historic sensor data and non-historic sensor data, wherein the non-historic sensor data is the received sensor data.
