System and method for temporal planning and monitoring of machine states

Abstract

A system and a method for planning and monitoring operating states of machines of a plant. A new model for operating states of a machine of a plant is configured within a single graphical editor that is capable of listing states and categories of states for each of the machines of the plant as a function of status-related data generated by the machines. The status-related data is automatically collected from the machine of the plant. The status-related data collected from the machine is automatically matched with the operating states listed in the new model. The operating states of the machine are automatically displayed as a function of the time for a given period of time.
