Abstract
A predictive failure analysis system is operably connected with a data switch adapted to be operably connected with an electronics device to receive signals from sensors of the electronics device. The system performs the method steps of receiving signals from the sensor; tracking the signals to determine changes in the signals over time; determining the condition of the electronics device based upon the signals collected over time; and transmitting an alert when the condition of the electronics device has deteriorated to the point where the electronics device needs to be repaired or replaced.
Claims17
A predictive failure analysis system for monitoring an electronics device having a sensor capable of generating a signal that varies over time and substantially corresponds with the condition of the electronics device, the predictive failure analysis system comprising:
- a data switch adapted to be operably connected with the electronics device to receive signals from the sensor of the electronics device;
- the data switch being operably connected with a computer processor and a computer memory;
- and
- the computer memory storing executable code that, when executed, performs a process comprising the steps of:
- receiving signals from the sensor;
- tracking the signals to determine changes in the signals over time;
- determining the condition of the electronics device based upon the signals collected over time;
- and
- transmitting an alert when the condition of the electronics device has deteriorated to the point where the electronics device needs to be repaired or replaced.
A predictive failure analysis system for monitoring an electronics device, the predictive failure analysis system comprising:
