Smart tool system, devices, and methods

A method executed by one or more computing devices for performing a diagnostic assessment based on one or more properties of a tool over a period of time, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, data from a tool monitoring device coupled to the tool, the received data being generated based at least in part on measurements of one or more properties of the tool captured over the period of time by one or more sensors of the tool monitoring device;
• generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, one or more data signatures based at least in part on the one or more measured properties;
• comparing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, at least one generated data signature in the one or more generated data signatures to one or more stored data signatures corresponding to one or more diagnostic outcomes;
• and
• generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a diagnostic assessment based at least in part on the comparison.

An apparatus for performing a diagnostic assessment based on one or more properties of a tool over a period of time, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause at least one of the one or more processors to:
• receive data from a tool monitoring device coupled to the tool, the received data being generated based at least in part on measurements of one or more properties of the tool captured over the period of time by one or more sensors of the tool monitoring device;
• generate one or more data signatures based at least in part on the one or more measured properties;
• compare at least one generated data signature in the one or more generated data signatures to one or more stored data signatures corresponding to one or more diagnostic outcomes;
• and
• generate a diagnostic assessment based at least in part on the comparison.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing a diagnostic assessment based on one or more properties of a tool over a period of time, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• receive data from a tool monitoring device coupled to the tool, the received data being generated based at least in part on measurements of one or more properties of the tool captured over the period of time by one or more sensors of the tool monitoring device;
• generate one or more data signatures based at least in part on the one or more measured properties;
• compare at least one generated data signature in the one or more generated data signatures to one or more stored data signatures corresponding to one or more diagnostic outcomes;
• and
• generate a diagnostic assessment based at least in part on the comparison.
