The disclosure provides an automated process for determining the wear condition of a downhole tool that removes the subjectivity associated with manual observation. The automated process can advantageously evaluate a wear condition of a downhole tool using visual analytics and real-time analysis after the downhole tool has been extracted from the wellbore. An example of a method includes: (1) securing a downhole tool in a rig assembly, (2) obtaining, using sensors, surround tool data of the downhole tool in the rig assembly, wherein the surround tool data includes a first set of surround tool data obtained before a downhole operation by the downhole tool and a second set of surround tool data obtained after the downhole operation, and (3) automatically determining a wear condition of the downhole tool in real time by comparing the second set of surround tool data to the first set of surround tool data.
