SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR PATTERN MATCHING BEARING VIBRATION DIAGNOSTICS

Abstract:

A system and method including receiving vibration spectrum data from a plurality of different assets; determining, based on a shape of the vibration spectrum data for each of the plurality of assets, clusters for the plurality of assets, assets being grouped in a same cluster having vibration spectrum data of a similar spectral shape; determining for each of the clusters, based on an application of domain derived pattern recognition rules for the vibration spectrum data, one of a plurality of fault classifications; generating an output including an association of each of the plurality of assets with the fault classification of the cluster in which the particular asset is grouped; and saving a record of the output.
