Abstract
A method includes obtaining a set of operational parameters of a first electronic pump, a first set of measurements collected by a first electronic pump sensor, and a second set of measurements collected by a second electronic pump sensor of a second electronic pump. The method also includes sending the second set of measurements from the second node to the first node, determining a set of state representations based on the measurement data, and determining whether a flow between the first electronic pump and the second electronic pump is in an anomalous state based on the set of state representations and a library of values. The method also includes changing a pump operation in response to a determination that the flow is in the anomalous state.
Claims20
A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining, with a computer system, a set of operational parameters, wherein operations of a first electronic pump are based on the set of operational parameters;
- obtaining, with the computer system, a first set of measurements collected by a first electronic pump sensor attached to the first electronic pump;
- obtaining, with the computer system, a second set of measurements collected by a second electronic sensor at a second location, wherein fluid flows between the first electronic pump and the second location;
- determining, with the computer system, a set of state representations based on the first set of measurements, the second set of measurements, or a combination thereof;
- determining, with the computer system, a reference key based on the set of operational parameters, wherein the reference key is one of a set of reference keys, and wherein each respective reference key of the set of reference keys is associated with a respective threshold parameter in a library of values;
