System and method for thermal management guidance

A repair management system, comprising:

• multiple temperature sensors that are adapted to be placed near a repair area,
• wherein the repair area includes an area of a structure that was damaged;
• a scanner that is adapted to scan a repair field of the structure,
• wherein the repair field includes the repair area and parts of structure surrounding and underlying the repair area, and
• wherein the scanner outputs structural information describing a structural composition of the repair field;
• a data processing system that is coupled to the temperature sensors and the scanner, where the data processing system includes a processor that executes computer code to:
• receive the structural information from the scanner;
• generate a map of the repair area;
• and
• analyze the structural information to determine suggested placements of the temperature sensors near the repair area.

• receive temperature readings from the multiple temperature sensors;
• and
• analyze the map of the repair area and the temperature readings to determine one or more insulation suggestions, wherein each insulation suggestion comprises instructions to add or remove insulation within a repair field, wherein the repair field comprises the repair area.

A repair management system for repairing a repair area that includes an area of a structure that was damaged, comprising:

• a scanner that is adapted to scan a repair field of the structure,
• wherein the repair field includes the repair area and parts of structure surrounding and underlying the repair area, and
• wherein the scanner outputs structural information describing a structural composition of the repair field;
• a data processing system that is coupled to the scanner, where the data processing system includes a processor that executes computer code to:
• receive the structural information from the scanner;
• generate a map of the repair area based in the structural information;
• and
• analyze the structural information to determine suggested placements of temperature sensors near the repair area;
• and
• temperature sensors placed in the suggested placements;
• wherein the processor of the data processing system further executes computer code to:
• receive temperature readings from the temperature sensors;
• and
• analyze the map of the repair area and the temperature readings to determine one or more insulation suggestions, wherein each insulation suggestion comprises instructions to add or remove insulation within the repair field.
