Determining a state of equipment
An apparatus, method and computer program product for receiving a first type of information relating to operation of rock processing equipment from a first source of information, receiving a second type of information relating to the operation of the rock processing equipment from a second source of information, determining, based on the first type of information and the second type of information, a state of the rock processing equipment, and providing, in response to determining that the state of the rock processing equipment fulfills at least one criterion, an indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment.
1 . An apparatus for determining a state of rock processing equipment, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive a first type of information including measurement data relating to operation of rock processing equipment from a first source of information;
receive a second type of information including inspection or user-related information relating to the operation of the rock processing equipment from a second source of information;
determine, based on the first type of information and the second type of information, a state of the rock processing equipment; and
provide, in response to determining that the state of the rock processing equipment fulfills at least one criterion, an indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment.
2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first type of information comprises measurement data relating to operation of the rock processing equipment.
3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first type of information includes substantially real-time data.
4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second type of information includes data relating to a visual inspection or an auditory inspection of the rock processing equipment.
5 . The apparatus according to any claim 1 , wherein the first type of information and the second type of information comprise different formats of information.
6 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first source of information includes at least one sensor associated with the rock processing equipment.
7 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second source of information includes a note received from a user.
8 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the state of the rock processing equipment includes a state of health of the rock processing equipment.
9 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment includes a service recommendation.
10 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment includes a prediction of the state of the rock processing equipment.
11 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to communicate with rock processing equipment provided by different manufacturers.
12 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rock processing equipment includes crushing and/or screening equipment.
13 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to receive the first type of information and/or the second type of information relating to the rock processing equipment via a wireless connection.
14 . A method performed by an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor cause the apparatus to perform a method for determining a state of rock processing equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a first type of information including measurement data relating to operation of rock processing equipment from a first source of information;
receiving a second type of information including inspection or user-related information relating to the operation of the rock processing equipment from a second source of information;
determining, based on the first type of information and the second type of information, a state of the rock processing equipment; and
providing, in response to determining that the state of the rock processing equipment fulfills at least one criterion, an indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment.
15 . A computer program having-computer executable code, which when executed, cause an apparatus for determining a state of rock processing equipment to perform at least the following:
receiving a first type of information including measurement data relating to operation of rock processing equipment from a first source of information;
receiving a second type of information including inspection or user-related information relating to the operation of the rock processing equipment from a second source of information;
determining, based on the first type of information and the second type of information, a state of the rock processing equipment; and
providing, in response to determining that the state of the rock processing equipment fulfills at least one criterion, an indication relating to the state of the rock processing equipment.
