Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a reader to read an identifier associated with a part. An extractor of the system extracts, based on the identifier, sensor output data for the part. A transmitter of the system transmits a re-order request for the part based on the sensor output data.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a camera associated with a user device to read an identifier associated with a part;
- an extractor to extract sensor output data from a sensor embedded in the part based on the identifier, wherein the sensor output data comprises a condition of the part captured by the sensor over a predicted part lifecycle;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit a redesign order comprising the sensor output data, the identifier, and a request to initiate a manufacturing action that includes redesign of the part.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- reading, by a radio-frequency identification reader, an identifier from a storage element embedded in a part;
- extracting sensor output data for the part based on the identifier;
- predicting a failure for the part based on the sensor output data;
- and
- transmitting a redesign order comprising a request to initiate a manufacturing action that includes redesign of the part based on the sensor output data and the failure predicted for the part.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a radio-frequency identification reader to read an identifier from a storage element embedded in a three-dimensional (3D) printed part;
- and
- an extractor to extract an output from a sensor embedded in the 3D printed part based on the identifier
- a database of recorded failures for 3D printed parts;
- a failure predictor to predict a failure of the 3D printed part based on:
- the output from the sensor;
- and
- recorded failures of 3D printed parts with similar characteristics;
- a modifier to modify a redesign order for the part, the redesign order comprising a modified design file that is based on the output from the sensor, the modified design file being generated prior to transmission of the redesign order;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit the redesign order that comprises the modified design file with a request to initiate a manufacturing action, the manufacturing action to comprise redesign of the part that has failed based on the output from the sensor.
