The invention provides equipment failure early-
warning system and method. The equipment failure early-
warning system has reliable operation, high performance-
price ratio and
visual interface, can transmit accurate equipment failure early-warning signals in advance and has
failure type self-learning function. The equipment failure early-warning method comprises the following steps of: arranging proper types of sensors on proper positions of equipment to collect the parameters, such as bearing temperature, pressure,
body vibration waveform, current variation waveform, and the like of the equipment; digitizing signals collected by the sensors by adopting a low-speed
data collecting module and a high-speed
data collecting module; developing specific
computer software to process, store and analyze the various kinds of collected data; realizing the timely time-domain frequency-domain exchange and analysis of the waveforms, such as vibration,
electric current, and the like by the
software by using the mathematical methods of Fourier transformation, Wigner-Ville distribution, Hilbert-Huang transform,
wavelet analysis, and the like; evaluating the various detected parameters by using a scoring method of an established file; and discovering and diagnosing the early exception of the equipment, thereby early warning the equipment failure. The equipment failure early-
warning system adopts a modularized framework and comprises four modules of a sensor module, a
data collecting module, a
data processing module and a self-learning intelligent early-warning platform, the four modules are connected by a
data transmission network, and a detection mode can adopt an on-line monitoring mode and a portable point detection mode.
