With lower cost data collection systems, improved connectivity of control sensors, and a more pervasive plant networking system, more data is flowing into asset monitoring systems than before. Data management and mining tools are needed at all levels in the data flow process. Tools include data reduction scoring techniques within the data collection devices, data conversion tools to transform data collection devices from a variety of vendors, in-line analytics as data moves from device to the first computer on the network and to the broader Information Technology (IT) network. Once at rest, there are several popular data mining platforms available to fuse high value data into a diagnostic and prognostic advisory system. This paper reviews techniques used at the data collection level, at the first plant node computer level, and within the back end IT system. A pilot case study is presented using a commercial big data platform.
