Systems and methods for self-organizing data collection based on a production environment parameter are disclosed. An example monitoring system for data collection in a production environment may include a data collector coupled to a plurality of input channels coupled to a plurality of sensors co-located on a component of the production environment and to a network infrastructure; a data storage to store collected data; a data acquisition circuit to interpret a plurality of detection values, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to at least one of the input channels; an expert system to self-organize data collection, wherein the self-organizing is based on a production parameter of the production environment; and wherein the data collector is responsive to the self-organizing to change a collection of the data.
