Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring the operation of a valve, which employ a data acquisition unit and a gateway device located at an industrial site where the valve is being used, and at least one cloud-computing system located remotely from the industrial site. At least one sensor is mounted on the valve at the industrial site. The data acquisition unit includes an interface to the at least one sensor. The gateway device includes a first interface to the data acquisition unit and a second interface to the cloud computing system. The data acquisition unit is configured to receive at least one sensor signal supplied by the at least one sensor and processes the at least one sensor signal to extract time-series sensor data for supply to a gateway device. The gateway device is configured to forward the time-series sensor data supplied by the data acquisition unit to the cloud computing system. The cloud computing system is configured to receive, store, and process the time-series sensor data communicated from the gateway device for remote monitoring of operation of the valve at the industrial site.
