Detecting Failure Risks

Failure risks are deviations that have been labeled and confirmed by a user. If an anomaly is detected again, FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI will automatically display it as a failure risk with the associated label a user provided when they first encountered the anomaly in the deviation workflow.

A user can choose to change the label if their root cause analysis yields a different outcome, by using the Other label workflow. The steps are identical to labeling a new deviation.

The purpose of the failure risk workflow is to reduce the time spent having to run through maintenance investigation and root cause analysis. After resolving the anomaly in the physical system being monitored, a user can mark the failure risk as resolved to remove it from the user interface. FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI will bring back the failure risk if the signature is detected again.

All failure risks of all the states associated to the component will be displayed as separate item in

Failure risks

section. When the user selects a particular failure risk item, associated plot will be displayed.
