ROTEC to expand its intellectual property portfolio and its toolset for prognostics and remote monitoring of the PRANA system
28 March 2019
ROTEC received 5 more patents for the analysis methods used by the PRANA system. The new solutions increase the efficiency of prognostics and remote monitoring of equipment used in the energy sector and can equally well be applied to mechanical engineering, utilities and agriculture, medicine and other industries.
The expansion of the system’s functionality and additional processing of signals coming from connected equipment will allow the specialists of the PRANA Situational Center to raise the quality of forecasts of the condition of the equipment being serviced to a new level. Now it is possible to offer the industry and the scientific community mathematical tools to interpret even more data coming from the monitoring of industrial facilities.
We would like to explain to the professionals that patents relate to methods for predicting the condition of a technical system based on difference functions, methods of controlling a technical system by holding the optimum point of the system’s state on aggregated two-dimensional and three-dimensional groups of parameters, methods of predicting the condition of a technical system by approximating its parameters with a continuous function and methods automated data collection and preparation for monitoring and modeling of a complex technical system. The wide range of capabilities of the PRANA system interface, in particular 3D modeling of the thermal field for the gas flow or the condition and temperature of bearings, make it significantly easier to monitor and evaluate the condition of the unit being serviced.

The technical results of inventions related to the field of technique and information technology, and more specifically, to a method for automated data collection and preparation, should be a qualitative improvement in the possibilities of an objective assessment of the condition of complex technical facilities, including the ability to predict nonlinear states, the use of visually understandable models for displaying optimal states of the system in the form of a point in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, as well as the ability to effectively deal with a random forecast error arising from a measurement error.
Thus, today the PRANA prognostics and remote monitoring system is protected by 8 patents, 20 certificates registered in the USA Copyright Office and the Unified Register of the Russian programs for electronic computers and databases. Another 22 patent applications are pending with patent priority.
The main feature of the PRANA system is the use of advanced mathematical modeling algorithms, statistical analysis and machine learning technologies.
