Abstract
Acquiring and evaluating data regarding the performance of critical equipment of various business units distributed around the globe is essential in today's market. In particular aggregating, organizing and evaluating various types of data at a host processing system that is accessible via an intuitive graphical user interface to approved users connected to an enterprise network.
Claims18
A method for aggregating and evaluating data of equipment operated by a plurality of business units, the method comprising:
- sensing parameters of the equipment using a sensor to provide sensor data;
- receiving the sensor data using a plurality of business unit historian processing systems, each of the plurality of business unit historian processing systems associated with each of the plurality of business units;
- enabling searching of the equipment by labeling the equipment with a general description and a specific description, the general description shared among multiple ones of the equipment, the specific description being more specific than the general description;
- transmitting the sensor data to a host processing system via an enterprise network of a parent business of the plurality of business units;
- transmitting equipment data from an outside business processing system of an outside business that is not affiliated with the parent business to the host processing system via the enterprise network;
- aggregating the sensor data and the equipment data into a database using the host processing system;
- evaluating the sensor data and the equipment data using the host processing system to provide an equipment evaluation for the equipment;
- receiving a request, using the host processing system, for the sensor data, the equipment data, and the equipment evaluation from a user using a user interface that implements a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI comprising at least one image representing the equipment, the user interface configured to perform a search of the equipment using at least one of the general description or the specific description;
- and
- transmitting the sensor data, the equipment data, and the equipment evaluation to the user interface in accordance with the request.

A global monitoring system for aggregating and evaluating data of equipment operated by a plurality of business units, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to sense parameters of the equipment and provide sensor data;
- a plurality of business unit historian processing systems configured to receive the sensor data, each of the plurality of business unit historian processing systems associated with each of the plurality of business units and configured to enable searching of the equipment by labeling the equipment with a general description and a specific description, the general description shared among multiple ones of the equipment, the specific description being more specific than the general description;
- an enterprise network of a parent business of the plurality of business units, the enterprise network configured to communicate with the plurality of business unit historian processing systems;
- a host processing system in communication with the enterprise network and configured to receive the sensor data from each of the plurality of business unit historian processing systems and equipment data from an outside processing system of an outside business that is not affiliated with the parent business;
- and
- a user processing system in communication with the host processing system via the enterprise network, the user processing system comprising a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI comprising at least one image representing the equipment, the user processing system configured to perform a search of the equipment using at least one of the general description or the specific description;
- wherein the host processing system is further configured to:
- aggregate the sensor data and the equipment data into a database;
- evaluate the sensor data and the equipment data to provide an equipment evaluation for the equipment using the host processing system;
- receive a request for the sensor data, the equipment data, and the equipment evaluation from a user using the user processing system;
- and
- transmit the sensor data, equipment data, and equipment evaluation to the user processing system in accordance with the request.
