Systems for self-organizing data collection and storage in a refining environment

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
Systems for self-organizing data collection and storage in a refining environment are disclosed. An example system may include a swarm of mobile data collectors structured to interpret a plurality of sensor inputs from sensors in the refining environment, wherein the plurality of sensor inputs is configured to sense at least one of: an operational mode, a fault mode, a maintenance mode, or a health status of a plurality of refining system components disposed in the refining environment, and wherein the plurality of refining system components is structured to contribute, in part, to refining of a product. The self-organizing system organizes a swarm of mobile data collectors to collect data from the system components, and at least one of a storage operation of the data, a data collection operation of the sensors, or a selection operation of the plurality of sensor inputs.
