Setting operational work modes based on equipment lifespan

A working equipment system, comprising a working equipment including movable structural parts configured to perform a working assignment, the working equipment system comprises:

• a control unit configured to control the movements of the structural parts when performing a working assignment applying an operation mode, and
• a monitoring unit configured to receive
• a first data set comprising predefined equipment data describing said structural parts of the working equipment, and data describing an operation mode for controlling movement of the working equipment, wherein the operation mode is defining the degree of damping, or smoothness, in the operating movements of the working equipment,
• a second data set from the working equipment, comprising operation data based on sensor signals received by the working equipment during the working assignment and describing the operation performed with the working equipment, and to receive a unique identifier for the working equipment, and a time stamp for the second data set, wherein the monitoring unit is configured to store in a storage system the received first and second data sets, the unique identifier, and the time stamp for the second data set,
• wherein said working equipment system further comprises a processing unit configured to calculate a time series of wear indicator values based on the stored first and second data sets, to estimate a predicted lifetime of the working equipment by extrapolating the calculated time series of wear indicator values, to compare the predicted lifetime with a target lifetime for the working equipment, and to select an operation mode for the working equipment in dependence of the result of the comparison, wherein the operation mode is selected such that the predicted lifetime corresponds to the target lifetime, and wherein said processing unit is configured to transmit the selected operation mode to said control unit that is configured to apply said selected operation mode when performing a working assignment.
