About Supplying Failure Data to Reliability Analytics

When you create a new analysis in Reliability Analytics, you will need to select a query or dataset on which to base the analysis or manually enter the data that you want to analyze. One of the easiest and most efficient ways to conduct an analysis is to create one based on a query. The advantage of using queries is that each time you view the analysis, GE Digital APM will run the underlying query to retrieve the most current information from the database. Analysis based on datasets and manually entered data, on the other hand, require more manual intervention to reflect updates.

Note: Throughout this documentation, we assume you have entered all important data and will be creating analysis based on queries.

The specific data that you need to create an analysis will vary, depending on the type of analysis that you are creating, the specific information that is available, and the results that you want to see.

Note: The type of failure data you collect will influence the conclusions you can make about your equipment. If you have one pump or several pumps with a specific failure mode, then you can perform a very specific analysis. If you have many pumps with many different failure modes, then your analysis will be less specific.
