Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD): Don’t Go It Alone
FDD and other data tools can be invaluable but implementation and ongoing usage always prove difficult. A trusted, data-plus-engineering services provider makes all the difference.
What is Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD)?
Fault detection and diagnostics software connects to real-time operational data in order to normalize the data across systems so that the performance can be analyzed over time. This technology identifies patterns and alerts operators when conditions are outside of expected parameters, which suggests a failure is imminent or energy waste is rampant.
Fault Detection and Diagnostic technology is good at:
- Monitoring data from operational equipment
- Watching for anomalies in operating conditions or data output
- Offering a starting point on algorithms written by the software provider or the end user customer (depending on the software developer)
Where Does Data + Engineering Pick Up the Slack?
FDD is a foundational element of any efficiency and resiliency strategy, but technology doesn’t solve problems in buildings, people do. It isn’t enough to have data processing software to improve operations – you need data + engineering to really make an impact.
Without a trusted advisor to help find the signal in the noise, an FDD-only solution often creates more problems than it solves.
Data + Engineering:
- Improves operational performance
- Reduces strain on workforces
- De-risks technology investment
