摘要:
A technique of monitoring a battery assembly may include monitoring a parameter associated with the battery assembly to obtain a number of monitored parameter samples. A temporal sequence of monotonically increasing values may be generated from the monitored parameter samples. The temporal sequence may be analyzed for an indication of a trend in the monitored parameter toward one of an upper operational boundary or a lower operational boundary to predict a fault condition of the battery assembly.

The present invention provides a system and methods for centrally storing, managing, processing, and visually displaying real-time enterprise manufacturing management and control information across the many cooperating departments of a manufacturing environment. In an illustrative implementation, the present invention comprises an exemplary manufacturing data management and control computing application deployed across the various departments of a manufacturing enterprise through a computing environment having data communications capabilities. The manufacturing data management and control computing application comprises a display area and processing area. The display area comprises a graphical user interface capable of displaying various types of manufacturing and manufacturing related data to participating users. The exemplary manufacturing data management and control computing application processing area comprises a data management and control engine. The data management and control engine operates on a set of predefined data management and control rules to process data for display, communication, and storage.
摘要:
A method for controlling a manufacturing process integrates transactional and real-time data. Scheduling and inventory data relating to an item to be manufactured, as well as design data for the item to be manufactured are retrieved from a database. Control data derived from the inventory and design data is transmitted to a machine adapted to manufacture the item. Real-time event notification data is received from the manufacturing machine and the scheduling and inventory data updated to reflect the real-time event notification data.
摘要:
The invention contemplates a system and method offering control and management of manufacturing resources (Machine 1, Machine 2 . . . Machine n) to obtain optimal manufacturing capacities and to avoid manufacturing down-time currently realized through manual operation and control of manufacturing resources. In an illustrative implementation, the present invention contemplates an exemplary control computing application (180) operating in a computing environment (100) which communicates with, cooperates with, and provides control over at least one manufacturing resource (e.g. manufacturing machine—Machine 1, Machine 2, . . . Machine n). The computing application (180) provides at least one instruction set (110′) for use in controlling the manufacturing resource. The communication of the instruction set may be realized local to the manufacturing resource, remotely from the manufacturing resource, or some combination thereof.
摘要:
The invention contemplates a system and method for communicating among entities of a manufacturing process. The System (100) comprises a process tracking and workflow engine and a communications network. The process tracking and workflow engine (180a) includes at least one processing rule operating on manufacturing processing information. The communications network (160) cooperates with the process tracking and workflow engine to transmit and receive data representative of manufacturing communication information. The inventive system also may include a sales system (801) for receiving a product request, where the product request is received from a customer and/or a field sales representative.
摘要:
A method for automated manufacturing job reassignment comprises receiving status and notification data from a workstation controlling a manufacturing machine. A query is executed to determine whether the data indicates the machine has become unavailable. If so, a second query is executed to identify a replacement machine having substantially the same functional capabilities as the machine that has become unavailable. The manufacturing schedule is updated and the workstations controlling operation of the manufacturing machines are notified that jobs previously assigned to the unavailable machine are now to be performed at the identified replacement machine.
摘要:
An order for a product from a customer by way of a website viewed on a display device of a customer computer is received and reviewed. An optimization across a plurality of manufacturing plants is requested, where each plant has a product manufacturing capacity, and the optimization takes place according to the capacity. The optimization is then received and a determination whether to confirm the order is made. If the order is confirmed, materials are ordered and a hold is placed on all or part of the capacity. Finally, an automated payment process is initiated with the customer.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided to generate sales and marketing information for power distribution system equipment and associated services responsive to customer inquiries and/or inquiries from a cooperating/participating party. In an illustrative implementation, a sales engine processes data representative of power distribution system equipment and services market information, design information, facilities capacity, planning, and manufacturing information to generate sales and marketing information for power distribution system equipment and services. Additionally, the sales engine cooperates with a data store to store and retrieves relevant data needed to generate the sales and marketing information. Data may be communicated between the sales engine and data store through a communications network, which may also be used to communicate sales and marketing data to/from participating customers.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided to enable customer support through customer relationship management (CRM) techniques and to perform error tracking and reporting surrounding the sales and/or performance of power distribution system equipment and associated services (FIG. 10). In an illustrative implementation, a CRM processing and workflow engine (1005) cooperates with an error tracking and reporting engine (1010) to process data representative of customer information, sales information, and error information as part of CRM activities. Additionally, the CRM process and workflow engine (1005) and error tracking and reporting engine (1010) cooperate with a data store 1015 and 1020) to store and retrieve CRM and error data. Data may be communicated between the CRM engine (1005), error engine (1010), and data store (1015 and 1020) through a communications network (160), which may also be used to communicate CRM/error data to/from participating customers.
