Abstract:
Embodiments are directed towards enabling users to customize data collection and analysis. A collection computer may automatically detect and dynamically update each of a plurality of sensors that may be currently providing real-time data regarding at least one characteristic of a machine. At least one sensor may be selected for local storage of its corresponding real-time data at the collection computer. And at least one sensor may be selected for remote storage of its corresponding real-time data by a server computer. A template may be employed to remotely display at least one characteristic of the machine based on current real-time data provided by at least one of the sensors identified by the template. In response to the user selecting at least one sensor for remote display, the template may be modified to include the remote display of the at least one sensor's corresponding current real-time data.

Abstract:
A non-destructive testing (NDT) device includes a processor operatively coupled to a camera and to a display. The processor is configured to navigate a graphical tree model of an inspection. The graphical tree model includes a plurality of nodes that each correspond to an inspection point of the inspection. The processor is also configured to display at least one of the plurality of nodes; the display of a node includes an icon indicative of the presence of a flagged image, a flagged video, or a combination thereof associated with the node. Further, the processor is configured to receive a user selection of the at least one of the plurality of nodes, receive a user input to acquire an image or video, associate the image or video with the selected one of the plurality of nodes, and update the display of the selected one of the plurality of nodes.
Abstract:
A mixed reality system includes a camera for providing captured image information in an arbitrary work environment; a sensing unit for providing sensed information based on operation of the camera; a process simulation unit for performing simulation on part/facility/process data of the arbitrary work environment, which is stored in a process information database (DB); a process allocation unit for handling allocation status between the data and simulation information; a mixed reality visualization unit for receiving the captured information and the sensed information, determining a location of the process allocation unit, combining the captured information and sensed information with the simulation information, and then outputting resulting information; and a display-based input/output unit for displaying mixed reality output information from the mixed reality visualization unit and inputting information requested by a user. Further, there is provided a method of implementing the same.
Abstract:
Process data and video data as pertains to the operation of an item of equipment is received and temporarily captured and stored in a rolling window that includes a plurality of different points in time. Upon detecting a predetermined operating condition of interest with respect to the item of equipment, at least a portion of the data as then presently appears in the rolling window is non-temporarily stored to render such data available for subsequent analysis. These steps are then preferably reset to permit automated and unattended capture of similar information as corresponds to future operating conditions of interest.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods, systems and computer program products for altering video images including superimposing objects onto the images, particularly addressed to identifying fastener insertion locations onto displayed images of a work pieces. The invention is capable of importing an image of a work piece contained in a computer file, displaying the image, and altering the displayed image and/or superimposing objects onto the image to show the location(s), sequence(s) and/or type(s) of fasteners to be inserted onto the displayed work piece according to operator input and instructions. After each insertion is completed, the display is again altered to show the completion. During use, the system is capable of tracking the fastener installations and updating the video display to show the current status of insertions on the work piece.
Abstract:
A data brokering system for semiconductor wafer data is presented that comprises: a FAB having at least one automated semiconductor wafer manufacturing tool; a plurality of OEMs, coupled to the FAB via a secure service net; means for providing data about a semiconductor wafer manufactured by the tool to one of the OEMs without revealing information about the tool; and means for collecting fees based on characteristics of the provided data.
Abstract:
Operator System and method for identifying and displaying operator accesses to process objects within the scope of process management and process monitoring such that an efficient coordination of operator accesses is achieved.
Abstract:
A manufacturing process management system includes: a display circuit; and a processor configured to: display, on the display circuit, a graph which represents an elapsed time from a start to a finish of each of a plurality of manufacturing processes through which a product is manufactured, based on information of starting times and finishing times of the manufacturing processes, in a state where the plurality of manufacturing processes are divided into each of manufacturing processes in an execution order and time axes are aligned in a same direction; specify, from among captured images of the plurality of manufacturing processes which are stored in a storage, a captured image which corresponds to the manufacturing process for a designated position on the displayed graph; and display the specified captured image on the display circuit.
