PRANA: Industry Standard of the Future
Economic effect generated by PRANA implementation: Cutting repair costs and reducing market fines by up to 60%
Industrial IoT solution for diagnostics and predictive analytics of industrial equipment to improve equipment performance and cut operating costs.
"PRANA (Predictive Analytics) – Predictive Analytics and Remote Monitoring System – a hardware-software package that enables the identification of deviations in the functioning of industrial equipment 2–3 months before the probable fault.
The PRANA industrial IoT solution combines methods of statistical analysis – the analytical core of the system, machine-learning technologies – an archive of defect symptoms, and big data processing tools – expert modules.
To collect equipment-performance parameters, the lower level of the System is deployed at the industrial site, thereby allowing for the safe collection and transmission of the data to the Situational Center. The PRANA System analyzes the data arriving from the running equipment in real-time and automatically detects any deviations, ranking them by contribution to the emerging defect.

This information is relayed to experts at the Situational Center, who generate the appropriate recommendations for the operating personnel. System-performance information and recommendations on maintaining equipment in good working order are available for customer personnel remotely and in mobile applications. Emergency alerts are sent via SMS, e-mail, phone calls and PUSH-notifications. Customers receive round-the-clock support, scheduled reports and recommendations on optimizing equipment performance and maintenance.
PRANA Economic Efficiency
Economic effect generated by the PRANA System implementation at one of Russia’s largest generating companies:
Incident count
The number of incidents in CCGT units.
Incident loss
Losses from power-unit downtime.
Reduce unscheduled shutdowns
PRANA identifies defects long before they lead to failure. All necessary repairs are carried out during scheduled shutdowns.
Cut your repair costs
Early detection of defects not only helps to avoid accidents, but also to plan in advance the purchase of spare parts, streamline logistics, and reduce the inventory.
Monitor personnel and equipment
Assess the quality of work performed by personnel and contractors, monitor compliance with the terms and rules for operating equipment. Plan your costs and capacity utilization in real time.
Identify the causes of accidents
By analyzing historical data you can identify the causes of an incident and assess whether the actions taken by personnel and the behavior of equipment were correct.

PRANA is based on the Multivariate Vector Statistical Model (MVSM).
An equipment model is created and configured using historical data. Behavioral abnormalities are detected using a single integrated T2 criterion and parameter imbalances, which are ranked automatically based on their contribution to the abnormalities. This approach has been developed specifically for monitoring equipment at nuclear power plants, where the reliability of equipment is considered to be the highest priority.
More details
The MVSM (Multivariate Vector Statistical Model) core is needed to create and play multidimensional models of the equipment state.
Playing models based on actual operational data makes it possible to identify deviating parameters in the operation of industrial equipment with extremely high sensitivity. This is the case even if they do not yet affect the state of the installation, which means they are not recorded by traditional control and monitoring systems.
More details
The Situation Monitoring Center provides 24/7 facility monitoring.
The dispatcher is alerted at the slightest deviation. The system automatically identifies the location and time of the incident.
Deviations are reported to the Expert Analysis Center, where the experts prepare their conclusion based on automatically generated recommendations for equipment maintenance.

The ROTEC Situation Center provides remote monitoring and predictive analytics of industrial equipment.
The Center's team includes experts with many years of experience in both science and practical work in the area of vibration diagnostics and vibration adjustment, turbine, compressor, boiler, thermal and electrical equipment.

Monitoring-and-diagnostics data (M&D) form the basis for determining the technical condition of high-voltage equipment and developing repair schedules for such equipment. World experience shows that from the economic standpoint, it is expedient to carry out such monitoring using the remote online monitoring of facilities. In this case, all generator assemblies can be monitored online. At present, the corresponding measuring base has been created for each component of a modern generator, which makes it possible to equip generators with sensors and systems for monitoring and diagnostics in any variation and package (in terms of control).
