METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION BASED ON EQUIPMENT LIFE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing a controlled mechanical system;
collecting and aggregating data in a time series related to the controlled mechanical system for processing with a monitoring module;
calculating an estimated current level of degradation of the controlled mechanical system from the collected and aggregated data with a learning and prognostic module;
determining, with the learning and prognostic module, trade-offs between degradation and performance of the controlled mechanical system for the next optimization period; and
calculating an optimum operating point for the controlled mechanical system based on the forecast and economic data with an optimization module.
