Inspiration

Explore and Show the power of Predix platform in managing and optimizing the performance of assets using machine data

What it does

Uses and extends Predix platform capabilities [APM, TimeSeries, Asset Service and more].
Captures Machine Data through Edison board and multiple sensors.
Ingests the data in Predix APM for configured assets.
Provides Dashboard for alerts and analytics to improve asset performance.

How we built it

We setup APM and configured the assets.
Setup the board and sensors.
Ingested data into APM.
Installed node.js package for accelerator sensor
Ingested vibration and temperature data into timeseries
Created a microservices to retrieve asset data and timeseries data.
Created a dashboard microapp that create visualization for timeseries data for field engineers.

Challenges we ran into

Network slowness.
Board setup to ingest data into APM

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Team had very little experience with APM and Edison board.
Everyone came together and delivered more than what we had planned for, configurtiing assets in APM, ingesting data from multiple sensors including acceleration sensor.
Coded a dashboard microapp and a microservice that interfaces with Timerseries and Asset service.
Wrote ~2000 lines of working code in java, python, node.js

What we learned

This is the first project for many of us where we actually used APM, We faced many challenges in setting up board and sensor to ingest data in APM but eventually succeeded..ye
