OPTIMIZING EFFICIENCY OF AN ASSET AND AN OVERALL SYSTEM IN A FACILITY

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for monitoring operation of an asset and creating a condition based preventive and predictive maintenance process for the individual asset and overall system. The method and system employ a configuration of sensors within the asset for monitoring physical operating parameters of the asset. In addition, the method and system employ a server arrangement which is operable to receive the sensor signals in substantially real-time. The server arrangement includes processing hardware for processing the sensor signals and is operable to execute one or more software products including computer readable instructions. The software products are operable to analyse the sensor data for determining an aggregate efficiency of operation of the asset based upon a weighted combination of contributions from one or more apparatus of the asset and for providing one or more recommendations for improving the efficiency of operation of the asset.

1. A system for monitoring operation of an asset, comprising:
a configuration of sensors within the asset for monitoring one or more physical operating parameters of the asset, wherein the sensors are operable to provide corresponding sensor signals for processing within the system; a server arrangement which is operable to receive the sensor signals in substantially real-time, wherein the server arrangement includes processing hardware for processing the sensor signals and is operable to execute computer readable instructions of one or more software products which, when executed by the system, are operable to analyse the sensor data to determine an aggregate efficiency of operation of the asset based upon a weighted combination of contributions from one or more apparatus of the asset, and to provide one or more recommendations for improving the efficiency of operation of the asset; wherein the one or more software products are provided with simulation models of the one or more apparatus of the asset to which the configuration of sensors is applied; and wherein the simulation models are employed for identifying adjustments that improve the efficiency of operation of the asset and overall system of one or more assets.
