Abstract
In an approach for identifying machinery conversion pivot opportunities utilizing a crowdsourced database, a processor receives machinery information for machinery of a user. A processor identifies a plurality of alternative uses for the machinery from a public cloud database based on the machinery information. A processor ranks the plurality of alternative uses for the machinery based on a set of factors. A processor sends the ranked plurality of alternative uses for the machinery to the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, machinery information for machinery of a user;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a plurality of alternative uses for the machinery from a public cloud database based on the machinery information;
- ranking, by the one or more processors, the plurality of alternative uses for the machinery based on a set of factors;
- and
- sending, by the one or more processors, the ranked plurality of alternative uses for the machinery to the user.
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive machinery information for machinery of a user;
- program instructions to identify a plurality of alternative uses for the machinery from a public cloud database based on the machinery information;
- program instructions to rank the plurality of alternative uses for the machinery based on a set of factors;
- and
- program instructions to send the ranked plurality of alternative uses for the machinery to the user.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive machinery information for machinery of a user;
- program instructions to identify a plurality of alternative uses for the machinery from a public cloud database based on the machinery information;
- program instructions to rank the plurality of alternative uses for the machinery based on a set of factors;
- and
- program instructions to send the ranked plurality of alternative uses for the machinery to the user.
