Claim One:
1. An apparatus for managing failure modes for condition based maintenance in marine resource production equipment, the apparatus comprising: a performance evaluation module ( 100 ) comprising a distributed control system (DCS) ( 110 ) for an offshore plant that collects maintenance data, a monitoring system ( 120 ) that monitors a top side, a hull, a subsea region, and an environmental load using the collected data from the distributed control system (DCS) for the offshore plant, a realtime sensor and operation database (DB) ( 150 ) that stores the data monitored by the monitoring system ( 120 ), and a real-time sensor data database (DB) ( 130 ) that stores sensor data based on data from the real-time sensor and operation database (DB)( 150 ), the performance evaluation module ( 100 ) being configured to construct a distributed control system for systematic collection and management of maintenance data and to evaluate real-time data management and monitoring performance; a condition based maintenance platform ( 200 ) that maps data from real-time sensor data of the performance evaluation module ( 100 ), stores the mapped data, and manages learnable failure modes based on normal mode and failure mode data; a diagnosis, prediction, maintenance, and shape management module ( 300 ) comprising a data mapping server ( 210 ) that maps data from the real-time sensor data database (DB) ( 130 ) of the performance evaluation module ( 100 ), and stores the mapped data in a diagnosis, prediction, and maintenance data mart ( 220 ) and a normal mode and failure mode database (DB) ( 230 ) and a learnable failure mode management system ( 240 ) that manages learnable failure modes based on the data in the normal mode and failure mode database (DB) ( 230 ), the diagnosis, prediction, maintenance, and shape management module ( 300 ) being configured to develop technology for automatically improving reliability of condition based maintenance based on learnable failure mode management according to data transmitted from the performance evaluation module ( 100 ) to the condition based maintenance platform ( 200 ), an offshore plant diagnosis, prediction, and maintenance system, a diagnosis and condition based maintenance operating platform, and a shape management system; and a virtual offshore plant simulator ( 400 ) that constructs a virtual offshore plant simulator, constructs a scenario based operation training system, and develops a condition based maintenance solution and an input and output virtualization system for interoperation with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for an offshore plant.
