  • Patent number: 10518411
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, via at least one sensor of a robot, sensor data indicating one or more characteristics of an asset. The method includes detecting, based on the sensor data, an existing or imminent defect of the asset. The method includes fabricating a part suitable for use in correcting the defect. The structure of the part is derived using one or both of a digital representation of the asset generated using the sensor data or stored reference data related to the asset.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170329307
    Abstract: A processing system having at least one processor operatively coupled to at least one memory. The processor receives sensor data from the at least one sensor indicating one or more characteristics of the asset. The processor generates, updates, or maintains a digital representation that models the one or more characteristics of the asset. The processor detects a defect of the asset based at least in part on the one or more characteristics. The processor generate an output signal encoding or conveying instructions to provide a recommendation to an operator, to control the at least one robot to address the defect on the asset, or both, based on the defect and the digital representation of the asset.

  • Publication number: 20030220853
    Abstract: A method, system, and storage medium encoded with machine-readable computer program code for managing changes in a bill of materials are disclosed and include providing an editor, the editor having a first frame and an adjacent second frame, displaying a parts list in the first frame of the editor, the parts list forming a subset of the bill of materials, and displaying search results from a search for parts in the second frame of the editor. A user interface for managing and navigating a bill of materials, the bill of materials listing a plurality of parts, is disclosed. The user interface includes a first frame including a parts list listing at least a subset of the bill of materials, a second frame providing search results of a search or details of a part listed in the first frame, and a third frame containing function buttons for performing operations between the first frame and the second frame.

  • Publication number: 20030220852
    Abstract: The schema includes providing a first bill of materials, linking a parent part in the first bill of materials with a first child part by a first relationship, revising the first bill of materials by linking the parent part with a second child part by a second relationship, different than the first relationship, and, providing a revised bill of materials listing the first child part, first relationship, second child part, and the second relationship. The schema may be incorporated into a system and a storage medium encoded with machine readable computer program code.
