Question 1

What is MicroEDS?

Accepted Answer

MicroEDS is an advanced monitoring system that learns the patterns of your sensors, detects anomalies, and provides real-time alerts. Its intelligent algorithms help ensure your systems operate smoothly, reducing downtime and enhancing overall efficiency.

Question 2

Where can MicroEDS run?

Accepted Answer

The current version, MicroEDS Type A, is distributed via the AWS Marketplace as an EC2 image. Future versions, Type B and Type C, will be available as Docker containers and on SD cards, making them compatible with a variety of deployment environments, including cloud, on-premises, and edge devices.

Question 3

What types of alerts can MicroEDS detect?

Accepted Answer

MicroEDS is designed to detect a wide range of anomalies, including:
 • User Limit Violations: Alerts when predefined thresholds are      exceeded.
 • Statistical Limit Violations: Identifies deviations from expected      statistical ranges.
 • Low-Quality Data Zones: Flags areas with poor data quality.
 • Abnormal Rate of Change: Detects sudden or unexpected changes in      data trends.
 • Prolonged Trends: Identifies long-term trends that deviate      from normal behavior.
 • Abnormal Combinations: Alerts when unusual parameter      combinations occur.
 • Process Noise Anomalies: Monitors for irregular process noise      patterns.
 • Extended Fixed Data: Detects when data remains unchanged for      unusually long periods.
 • Missing Data: Alerts if expected data points are      absent.

Question 4

What learning capabilities does MicroEDS have?

Accepted Answer

MicroEDS incorporates adaptive learning algorithms that continuously update its detection parameters. For example, each detector periodically adjusts its alert thresholds (e.g., every 24 hours). Additionally, the system maintains a dynamic table of valid and invalid data combinations, refreshed daily at midnight based on accumulated data. This ensures that the system evolves alongside your operational environment.

Question 5

Can MicroEDS communicate with other platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MicroEDS supports multiple communication protocols, allowing seamless integration with other platforms. It can receive data via TCP, FTP, and Modbus, enabling compatibility with a wide range of industrial and IoT systems.
