Patent ID: 8175848

Claim:
A system for determining the health of a component of an asset, comprising: a sensor network including one or more sensors operably coupled to an asset component and collecting sensor data associated with at least one or more operating characteristics of the asset component; a processing device including one or more modules and one or more configuration files, the processing device configured to read the one or more configuration files, receive the sensor data encapsulated in data packets, extract from the data packets at least one or more units of sensor data associated with a first operating characteristic of the asset component and at least one or more units of sensor data associated with a second operating characteristic of the asset component, and insert the extracted units of sensor data associated with the first operating characteristic of the asset component into a first data stream associated with the first operating characteristic of the asset component and insert the extracted units of sensor data associated with the second operating characteristic of the asset component into a second data stream associated with the second operating characteristic of the asset component based upon the one or more configuration files and determining health information associated with the asset component, wherein the one or more modules receiving and transmitting input and output data from the extracted units of sensor data, via the data streams to organize the input and output data; and one or more user interfaces receive and display a data stream associated with the determined health information.
