Aggregate and correlate data from different types of sensors

A system comprising:

• a plurality of sensors sensing conditions on equipment of an industrial operation, wherein one or more component sensors of the plurality of sensors provide sensor information for functionality of a component of the industrial operation and one or more additional sensors of the plurality of sensors provide sensor information to monitor conditions of a portion of the industrial operation different from the functionality of the component;
• a sensor module configured to receive sensor information from the plurality of sensors;
• a correlation module configured to derive, using the sensor information, correlations between sensor information of sensors of the one or more component sensors and of the one or more additional sensors;
• a baseline module configured to derive a baseline signature from the sensor information and the correlations, the baseline signature encompassing a range of normal operating conditions;
• an error module configured to identify an abnormal operating condition of the industrial operation based on a comparison between additional sensor information from the plurality of sensors and the baseline signature, wherein the sensor information is used differently for functionality of the component than for deriving the correlations and baseline signature and identifying the abnormal operating condition;
• and
• an alert module configured to send an alert comprising the identified abnormal operating condition,
• wherein said modules comprise one or more of hardware circuits, a programmable hardware device and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therein, the program code executable by a processor to:

• receive sensor information from a plurality of sensors of an industrial operation, wherein sensor information from one or more component sensors of the plurality sensors is used for functionality of a component of the industrial operation and sensor information from one or more additional sensors of the plurality of sensors monitor conditions of a portion of the industrial operation different from the functionality of the component;
• derive, using the sensor information, correlations between sensor information of sensors of the one or more component sensors and of the one or more additional sensors;
• derive a baseline signature from the sensor information and the correlations, the baseline signature encompassing a range of normal operating conditions;
• identify an abnormal operating condition of the industrial operation based on a comparison between additional sensor information from the plurality of sensors and the baseline signature, wherein the sensor information is used differently for functionality of the component than for deriving the correlations and baseline signature and identifying the abnormal operating condition;
• and
• send an alert comprising the identified abnormal operating condition.
