EQUIPMENT SOUND MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for comparative analysis of sound data obtained from client equipment includes a portable sound detection device (28a) with a transducer to collect sounds from equipment (26a, 26b, 26c), convert the collected sounds into analog signals, and generate digital data files including sound data representative of the collected sounds. The data files are stored in a web-based database and remote server-based program modules aggregate data associated with the data files with previously stored and related data across a plurality of predetermined data parameters. The program executes or enables identification of outlying data points with respect to data points from the sound data, and the comparison of sound data with baseline data determined the equipment type, the location and the aggregated data.
