Predictive maintenance One way to preempt issues is through the use of Predictive Asset Analytics . “ When applied in power generation plants for example , the technology uses a proprietary algorithm called OPTiCS that leverages Advanced Pattern Recognition ( APR ) and machine learning technology . Through this , it learns an asset ’ s unique operating profile during all loading , ambient and operational process conditions ,” explains Godemel .
“ Once an issue has been identified , the software can assist in root cause analysis and provide fault diagnostics to help the user understand the reason and significance of the problem . This can provide early warning notification and diagnosis of equipment issues days , weeks or months before failure , reducing operation costs and maintenance . The system is highly scalable and can be used to monitor a single asset , a specific plant or hundreds of remote assets across multiple sites .”
