A method for correlating data from sensors includes receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors of an industrial operation. Sensor information from component sensors is used for functionality of a component of the industrial operation and sensor information from additional sensors monitor conditions of a portion of the industrial operation different from the component. The method includes deriving, using the sensor information, correlations between component sensors and additional sensors and deriving a baseline signature from the sensor information and the correlations. The baseline signature encompasses a range of normal operating conditions. The method includes identifying an abnormal operating condition based on a comparison between additional sensor information and the baseline signature. The sensor information is used differently for functionality of the component than for deriving the correlations and baseline signature and identifying the abnormal operating condition. The method includes sending an alert with the abnormal operating condition.
