Methods and systems for improving reliability

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing reliability as a service (RaaS) are described. A method for providing RaaS, as described, can include providing a mounting interface between a sensor subsystem and an apparatus, thereby coupling the sensor subsystem to the apparatus at a single position; sampling a set of signal streams from the sensor subsystem during operation of the apparatus; returning a set of statuses of a set of subcomponents of the apparatus, upon applying a set of transformations to the set of signal streams, without requiring any disassembly of the apparatus; returning a recommended action for increasing or optimizing reliability of the apparatus based upon a diagnosed status of at least one of the set of subcomponents; and executing the recommended action. The method can be adapted to support monitoring and maintenance of a group of apparatuses.
