Deploying machine learning models directly at the asset level allows for real-time monitoring of critical equipment like centrifugal compressors and turbo-expanders. Anomalies in vibration spectra, lube oil temperature, or polytropic efficiency are detected days before physical failure occurs. This shifts the plant from a reactive maintenance model to a predictive one. Advanced Process Control (APC)
