Method for the Computer-Assisted Monitoring of the Functional Performance of a Technical System

A computer program product for the computer-assisted monitoring of the functional performance of a technical system having a plurality of technical components, the computer program product comprising computer instructions stored in non-transitory computer readable media and executable by a processor to:

• for each technical component of the technical system, determine an actual functional performance based on given hardware and/or software details of the technical components;
• assign each technical component a component type, wherein components with the same or similar scope of functions are assigned to a component type;
• for each component type, determine a further functional performance that describes a range of functions of the hardware and/or software of the component, which has the highest functional performance of all available components of a component type;
• for each technical component, determine a normalized functional performance of based on the actual functional performance and the further functional performance determined for that technical component;
• for each component type, determine a component type-related normalized functional performance based on the component-related, normalized functional performances determine for all functional components of that component type;
• and
• for at least one component type, compare the component type-related, normalized functional performance determined for that component type with a threshold value, and, in response to determining that the component type-related, normalized functional performance is below the threshold value, automatically generate an alarm signal.
