A system for performing failure signature recognition training for at least one unit of equipment. The system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured by computer code to receive sensor data relating to the unit of equipment and to receive failure information relating to equipment failures. The processor is further configured to analyze the sensor data in view of the failure information in order to develop at least one learning agent for performing failure signature recognition with respect to the at least one unit of equipment.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A method for failure signature recognition training, the method comprising: identifying equipment for the failure signature recognition training; retrieving maintenance histories for the identified equipment; identifying faults in work orders included within the maintenance histories; importing sensor data from plant historians for all assets matching an equipment identifier; and analyzing the sensor data at times where the identified faults occur in order to learn fault signature.
