This work proposes a methodology based on online processing of alarms with the objective of identifying proactively possible failures of industrial processes operation. For this, a knowledge base that relates failure scenarios previously registered is used then the feasibility of each failure scenario is continuously assessed based on the possibility of activation of alarms that the scenarios in question, with the possibility of occurrence of a particular alarm is calculated from the trend of its associated analog variables. Preliminary results are presented and future work discussed .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
