Abstract: A method of detecting degradation of a lubricant in a bearing of an electrical machine, including: a) obtaining a first outer bearing ring temperature, b) changing the speed of the electrical machine, c) obtaining a second outer bearing ring temperature when the speed has changed, d) determining a thermal response value of the outer bearing ring based on the first outer bearing ring temperature and the second outer bearing ring temperature, e) comparing the thermal response value with a reference thermal response value for the same speed change as in step b), and f) in case the thermal response value differs from the reference thermal response value, concluding that the performance of the lubricant has degraded.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for condition monitoring of an industrial drive. According to an aspect, the method includes: obtaining an image of a component surface of the industrial drive, wherein the image includes a first number of pixels; determining, using the image and at least one reference image for the component surface, a contamination index of the image, wherein the at least one reference image includes the first number of pixels; and triggering, in response to the contamination index being above a pre-determined first threshold, a maintenance warning.

Abstract: To provide a status information also to one or more industrial devices for which no process data is available, a machine learning model is trained by using process data of a subset of industrial devices, corresponding product data, and statuses obtained by performing remote monitoring analysis to the process data. When user input including first information, which at least indicate at least one industrial device type is received, product data of one or more industrial automation devices, which are of the same indicated industrial device type is retrieved and inputted to the trained model, which outputs one or more estimated statuses.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for predicting a faulty behaviour of an electrical converter. The method includes receiving an operation point indicator of the electrical converter indicative of an actual operation point of the electrical converter, where the electrical converter is connected to a rotating electrical machine; receiving a measured device temperature of a power semiconductor device of the electrical converter indicative of an actual temperature of the power semiconductor device; inputting the operation point indicator as input data into a machine learning algorithm trained with historical data comprising operation point indicators and associated device temperatures, where the historical data was recorded during normal operation of a power semiconductor device; estimating an estimated device temperature with the machine learning algorithm, where the estimated device temperature represents a device temperature during a normal operation; and predicting the faulty behaviour by comparing the estimated device temperature with the measured device temperature.
