The Watchdog Agent Prognostics Toolkit expands the capabilities of LabVIEW in machine prognostics and health management applications. The toolkit, a collaboration between NI and the National Science Foundation’s Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Intelligent Maintenance Systems at the University of Cincinnati, provides a set of algorithms including logistic regression, statistical pattern matching, a self-organizing map, a support vector machine, and a Gaussian mixture model, which engineers can use to create machine and component status descriptors of operating states and failure modes.
