Systems and methods for wear assessment and part replacement timing optimization

A part replacement timing optimization system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a part image, from an image capture device, of a deployed part associated with a machine;
• feed the part image into a trained wear estimate model;
• receive a wear estimate for the part image from the trained wear estimate model;
• estimate a change in performance of the machine based on the wear estimate;
• receive telemetry data from the machine;
• determine a machine utilization pattern for the machine based on the telemetry data;
• and
• combine the machine utilization pattern and the change in performance estimate to determine an optimal time to replace the part.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• training a wear estimate model, including:
• predicting a plurality of wear patterns for a part, each wear pattern corresponding to a degree of severity;
• rendering a plurality of training images, each representing a corresponding one of the plurality of wear patterns;
• labeling each of the plurality of training images with the corresponding degree of severity;
• and
• training a neural network with the plurality of labeled training images;
• receiving a part image of a deployed part associated with a machine;
• feeding the part image into the trained wear estimate model;
• receiving a wear estimate for the part image from the trained wear estimate model;
• estimating a change in performance of the machine based on the wear estimate;
• determining a machine utilization pattern for the machine;
• and
• combining the machine utilization pattern and the change in performance estimate to determine an optimal time to replace the part.
