A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.

About this technology

Overview

In 2012 Phoenix-based CEMSol LLC licensed system-monitoring software from Ames Research Center. The program mines years_ worth of data samples from a given system to establish relationships between components, determine a baseline for normal behavior, and detect any deviation from that norm that might indicate an impending failure. The company enhanced the program_s presentation and developed its Integrated System Health Management products, which essentially give any system the ability to verbalize symptoms before a failure occurs.
