Run FMEA before the pump optimizer controls anything
Use FMEA to identify and control failure modes in an AI pump optimization workflow.
The pump optimizer can reduce energy, but it may recommend schedules that violate pressure, cycling, or maintenance constraints when conditions shift. FMEA finds credible failure modes and controls them before the AI workflow gains authority. The common trap is to treat energy savings in simulation as proof of readiness. Simulation may not include stale sensors, operator behavior, fire-flow demand, or maintenance limits. Before Approve the optimizer because it saves 6 percent energy in simulation. After Approve a constrained pilot only after high-severity failure modes have controls, detection, fallback, and an owner. Scope the function Function: recommend pump schedules that reduce…
