# Longitudinal failure analysis using obtained sensor data of a physical machine

## Abstract

An automated maintenance, monitoring and diagnostics infrastructure can include small, portable sensor devices, which can be attached to industrial machines and physical equipment. The sensor devices include wireless communication facilities and an accelerometer, capable of measuring vibration signals. Based on received sensor data, the system determines a condition state of the physical equipment and periodically evaluates additional data generated by the sensor device and determines an occurrence in a change of the condition state.
