With the desire to help factories improve the reliability of critical equipment, S5T offers a package of solutions for analysis and early diagnosis of SmartSignal equipment health based on the world’s leading technology platform of GE Digital. . This is a solution that helps to prevent maximum damage to the plant, increase equipment reliability, and increase operating efficiency.
The working principle of the analytical solution for early diagnosis of device health – SmartSignal
SmartSignal works by analyzing all available measurements on the device to detect potential problems. The software anticipates these problems, localizes, diagnoses, prioritizes, and generates incident reports. Operational scenarios are handled on an ad-hoc basis and the modeling automatically adapts over time.
Working principle of SmartSignal . system
If the traditional solution uses a single sensor for device monitoring, an alarm will be raised only if the signal exceeds the fixed thresholds configured in the DCS system; SmartSignal works more efficiently by monitoring signals from sensors simultaneously. SmartSignal is based on historical data, the corresponding mode, the system will calculate the desired value of the signal at the current time based on the SBM algorithm (similarity-based modeling). This value will be compared with the actual value received through the sensors. When the difference between the actual value and the calculated value exceeds the allowed dynamic band, the system will give early warnings to the operator.
An early warning is given if the following factors are satisfied such as the equipment is operating, there is a significant deviation between the actual signal from the sensor and the calculated value from the model, the deviation lasts for a period of time. time is large enough, and eventually must match a pattern of problems.

Effective when installing an analysis system for early diagnosis of equipment status – SmartSignal
SmartSignal solutions enable factories to take the next step in analysis and diagnostics by helping factories answer the following questions:
- What problems will happen to the factory equipment?
- What are the causes of the incidents?
- What is the priority, severity of the impending incident?
- What is the estimated time to repair the device?
Thus, SmartSignal helps the factory’s human resources to focus on proactively fixing the problem, rather than waiting and looking for a fix. It is an indispensable tool for the plant to move towards the most advanced levels of maintenance such as RCM reliability maintenance. Specific SmartSignal indicators and benefits include:
In terms of equipment:
- Detect potential errors early thus preventing them from worsening.
- Improved reliability and availability.
- Improve efficiency.
In terms of process:
- Switch to active instead of passive.
- Optimizing maintenance and repair activities.
- Make a repair plan before the fault occurs.
The process of deploying and installing the SmartSignal device’s early diagnosis and analysis solution
Step 1: Survey, design hardware and software for the system.
Step 2: Collect factory data (P&ID, tag list, alarm limits, etc…)
Step 3: Install the software.
Step 4: Configure SmartSignal system.
Step 5: Initialize the Assets (main devices) of the factory.
Step 6: Build the initial database.
Step 7: Model, test and calibrate the system at the factory.
Step 8: Test run, evaluate the quality.
Step 9: Put into official operation.
