Abstract
A system and method for detecting and analyzing anomalies in a machine during operation. The system and method includes at least one sensor configured to detect characteristics of the machine indicative of machine vibration, at least one other sensor configured to detect characteristics of the machine indicative of other than machine vibration, a plurality of neural networks to receive input data, at least one neural network receiving vibration data from the at least one sensor, and at least one other neural network receiving non-vibration data from the at least one other sensor, and an expert system to receive output data from the neural networks and responsively analyze machine operation for anomalies.
