This is a computer system designed to monitor industrial equipment and predict potential problems. It gathers information, such as from sensors, about the equipment's current state. Based on this data, it identifies likely future issues and then generates a "health profile" that can recommend maintenance steps to avoid those issues or explain the impact if they occur. The core of the invention is software that runs on a computer.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of advanced machine learning tools and cloud computing. The core task of transforming data into indicators and identifying likely events, which required bespoke algorithms in 2013, is now significantly easier with modern predictive analytics and AI platforms.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
