Abstract
A method for determining a status of one of multiple machine components of a machine on the basis of a digital machine model, wherein the digital machine model describes the multiple machine components, includes the steps of: determining component manufacturer data of the multiple machine components; determining machine manufacturer data of the multiple machine components; determining machine operator data of the multiple machine components; and determining the status of the one of the multiple machine components by linking the determined component manufacturer data, the determined machine manufacturer data and the determined machine operator data.
Claims6
A method for determining a status of one machine component of multiple machine components of a machine based on a digital machine model, the method comprising:
- determining component manufacturer data of the multiple machine components;
- determining machine manufacturer data of the multiple machine components that describes an arrangement and/or connection interaction of the one machine component with another machine component of the multiple machine components;
- determining machine operator data of the multiple machine components that describes:
- a use, an operating condition, an operating time, a power level, a load, a temperature, an ambient condition, an air humidity level, and/or a contamination level;
- determining whether the one machine component constitutes a risk of failure of the machine by linking the determined component manufacturer data, the determined machine manufacturer data, and the determined machine operator data;
- and
- based on the risk of failure determined by the linking, determining maintenance information and ordering information, wherein
- the digital machine model is generated from a design system, and
- the digital machine model describes the multiple machine components.
A status-determining system for determining a status of one machine component of multiple machine components of a machine based on a digital machine model, the status-determining system comprising:
- a component manufacturer determining device to determine component manufacturer data of the multiple machine components;
- a machine manufacturer determining device to determine machine manufacturer data of the multiple machine components that describes an arrangement and/or connection interaction of the one machine component with another machine component of the multiple machine components;
- a machine operator determining device to determine machine operator data of the multiple machine components that describes:
- a use, an operating condition, an operating time, a power level, a load, a temperature, an ambient condition, an air humidity level, and/or a contamination level;
- and
- a status determining device to:
- determine whether the one machine component constitutes a risk of failure of the machine by linking the determined component manufacturer data, the determined machine manufacturer data, and the determined machine operator data;
- and
- based on the risk of failure determined by the linking, determine maintenance information and ordering information, wherein
- the digital machine model is generated from a design system, and
- the digital machine model describes the multiple machine components.
