About this technology

Overview

The Inductive Monitoring System is software developed at Ames Research Center that uses artificial intelligence and data mining techniques to build system-monitoring knowledge bases from archived or simulated sensor data. This information is then used to detect unusual or anomalous behavior that may indicate an impending system failure. iSagacity Inc., based out of Portland, Maine, executed a nonexclusive license and is now offering it for use for water treatment plants, water heating and cooling in the process industry, oil refineries, public water distribution, and power generation plants.
