Temporary expanding integrated monitoring network
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a process, the system comprising a computer readable medium that stores computer program product that is executable by a computer, the product comprising:
- a code directed to storing a first model in memory;
a code directed to acquiring data from a process;
a code to remove outlier data from the data acquired from the process, and to obtain filtered data as a result thereof;
a code directed to applying the first model to the filtered data to identify a first predicted descriptor characteristic of a state of the process; and
a code directed to consulting a first knowledge based system to provide an output based upon the first predicted descriptor.

Abstract
A system for monitoring an industrial process and taking action based on the results of process monitoring. Actions taken may include process control, paging, voicemail, and input for e-enterprise systems. The system includes an input module for receiving a plurality of parameters from a process for manufacture of a substance or object. The system also includes a library module. The library module includes a plurality of computer aided processes. Any one of the computer aided processes is capable of using each of the plurality of parameters to compare at least two of the plurality of parameters against a training set of parameters. The training set of parameters is generally predetermined. The computer aided process is also capable of determining if the at least two of the plurality of parameters are within a predetermined range of the training set of parameters. Additionally, the system includes an output module for outputting a result based upon the training set and the plurality of parameters.
