Abstract
A system for determining an origin of a fluid from a machine may include a spectral measurement device configured to generate spectral data for a fluid, and a transmitter in communication with the spectral measurement device and configured to transmit the spectral data. The system may also include a receiver in communication with the transmitter and configured to receive a transmission indicative of the spectral data from the transmitter. The system may further include a processor in communication with the receiver and configured to cause execution of an analytical model configured to determine, based at least in part on the spectral data, fluidic information related to the fluid, the fluidic information including an indication of an origin of the fluid. The system may also include an output device in communication with the processor and configured to output the indication of the origin of the fluid.
