Method of predictive monitoring of a variable of a medium and of a measurement accuracy of a measurement device measuring this variable

Abstract

A method of predictive monitoring of a variable of a medium located in a container of a facility comprises steps of continuously recording data comprising measured values, based on training data determining a classification method capable of identifying data sets that have each been measured during one of the specific operation phases, performing the classification method and based on the data sets identified by the classification method determining a time series of compliancy indicators indicative of a degree of compliancy of at least one property of the characteristic of the measured values to a corresponding reference property of the reference characteristic. Based on the time series at least once determining a time remaining until the degree of compliancy indicated by compliancy indicators will drop below a predetermined minimum degree of compliancy; and providing an output informing about the remaining time.
