1. A method of performing real-time pump monitoring with prescriptive analytics, the method comprising:
receiving, at a cloud server, real-time sensor data from a plurality of pump sensors of a pump control system, wherein each pump sensor of the plurality of pump sensors is configured to generate sensor data associated with at least one characteristic of operation of a pump;
analyzing and processing, at the cloud server by a leverage machine learning algorithm, the real-time sensor data to generate a derived real-time sensor data;
comparing, at the cloud server by the leverage machine learning algorithm, the derived real-time sensor data to at least one threshold value, wherein the at least one threshold value includes a dynamically updated threshold value;
determining, at the cloud server by a leverage machine learning algorithm, fault information in response to determining the derived real-time sensor data is outside of one or more of the at least one threshold value;
in response to the determining of fault information, determining, at the cloud server by the leverage machine learning algorithm, a real-time operating point of the pump on a pump performance curve based on the derived real-time sensor data;
displaying, on a graphical user interface of an administrative device, the real-time operating point of the pump on the pump performance curve; and
displaying, on the graphical user interface of the administrative device, the fault information in real time.
