Examine Duke Energy's large-scale monitoring and automation initiative to increase asset availability, reduce cost, and address workforce challenges. In the past, 80 percent of key maintenance and diagnostics (M&D) personnel time and efforts were spent on data collection instead of analytics. The Smart M&D project goals include using a centralized database and distributed, intelligent DAQ nodes to automate the data collection process and shift the focus to data analysis. At this session, explore Duke Energy's M&D infrastructure featuring CompactRIO.
