The example embodiments are directed to a device and method for determining a root cause of equipment failure. In one example, the method includes storing a plurality of root causes of previous equipment failures, receiving textual data associated with a current equipment failure, determining a root cause for the current equipment failure by determining a similarity of keywords of each root cause with respect to the received textual data of the current equipment failure and selecting at least one root cause based on the determined similarities of the plurality of root causes, and displaying the at least one determined root cause for the current equipment failure via a display device. The example embodiments provide a system and method that automatically determine a root cause of equipment failure rather than rely on a subject matter expert.

Determining root cause of locomotive failure

The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for monitoring the health of analytical applications. In certain embodiments, these analytic applications may be a part of a broader IoT solution that may optionally be hosted on a cloud platform. In one example, the method includes receiving an output of an IoT analytic application deployed on a computing platform, selecting at least one performance metric based on a type of the application, calculating a performance of the application based on the selected performance metric, the received output of the application, and an expected output of the application, and in response to detecting the calculated performance of the application is below a predetermined threshold, outputting an alert to a user device. Accordingly, the health of an IoT analytic application can be monitored and an alert can be provided when the application operates below a predetermined threshold.
