Abstract

A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for real-time auditing of industrial equipment conditions is presented. The method includes causing presentation of a user interface comprising a table view of condition factor scores associated with industrial equipment. Each of the condition factor scores provides a measure of a factor that impacts an overall functional state of the industrial equipment. The method further includes providing a selectable element operable to toggle the user interface between the table view and a detailed view of condition factor scores. In response to user selection of the selectable element, the user interface is updated to present the detailed view that includes derivation information related to the at least one condition factor score. The derivation information includes at least one formula and at least one variable value used in calculating the at least one condition factor score.

the operations further comprise;

receiving the textual comment entered into the text entry field of the editor window; and

storing the textual comment in association with the particular condition factor score.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the output of the one or more sensors includes a measurement related to a functional aspect of a piece of industrial equipment.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting a change to the source data; and

responsive to detecting the change to the source data;

updating the at least one variable value based on the change to the source data;

dynamically recomputing the at least one condition factor score using the at least one updated variable value; and

updating the detailed view to include the at least one updated variable value and the at least one recomputed condition factor score.

10. A method comprising:

causing presentation, on a display of a computer device, of a user interface comprising a table view of condition factor scores associated with industrial equipment, each of the condition factor scores providing a measure of a factor that impacts an overall functional state of the industrial equipment, each of the condition factor scores computed based in part on source data that includes output data produced by one or more sensors coupled to the industrial equipment;
