Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise obtaining and analyzing data from at least one discrete machine, automatically determining relationships related to the data, taking corrective action to improve machine operation and/or maintenance, automatically and heuristically predicting a failure associated with the machine and/or recommending preventative maintenance in advance of the failure, and/or automating and analyzing mining shovels, etc.
Claims28
A method for managing electric mining shovel information comprising a plurality of activities, the activities comprising:
- receiving a plurality of values for a plurality of electric mining shovel system variables associated with one or more electric mining shovel system components, the plurality of electric mining shovel system variables comprising at least one operational variable related to digging earthen material, the at least one operational variable comprising non-binary values;
- determining a mathematical correlation between at least two variables of the plurality of electric mining shovel system variables, the at least two variables comprising at least one non-load-related variable and at least one non-positional variable;
- analyzing the determined correlation between the at least two variables using a pattern recognition algorithm to determine a performance of the one or more electric mining shovel system components;
- and
- rendering a visually-renderable graphical analysis report that indicates the determined performance of the one or more electric mining shovel system components.
A machine-readable medium comprising stored computer executable instructions for:
- receiving a plurality of values for a plurality of electric mining shovel system variables associated with one or more electric mining shovel system components, the plurality of electric mining shovel system variables comprising at least one operational variable related to digging earthen material, the at least one operational variable comprising non-binary values;
- determining a mathematical correlation between at least two variables of the plurality of electric mining shovel system variables, the at least two variables comprising at least one non-load-related variable and at least one non-positional variable;
- analyzing the determined correlation between the at least two variables using a pattern recognition algorithm, to determine a performance of the one or more electric mining shovel-system components;
- and
