Abstract

In some examples, a computing device may generate simulated data based on a physical model of equipment. For example, the simulated data may include a plurality of probability distributions of a plurality of degrees of failure, respectively, for at least one failure mode of the equipment. In addition, the computing device may receive sensor data indicating a measured metric of the equipment. The computing device may compare the received sensor data with the simulated data to determine a failure mode and a degree of failure of the equipment. At least partially based on the determined failure mode and degree of failure of the equipment, the computing device may send at least one of a notification or a control signal.
