  • Publication number: 20230267248
    Abstract: A computing system may include a constraint learning engine and a constraint generation engine. The constraint learning engine may be configured to access a computer-aided design (CAD) assembly comprising multiple CAD parts and generate a representation graph of the CAD assembly, determine constraints in the CAD assembly, wherein the constraints limit a degree of movement between geometric faces of different CAD parts in the CAD assembly, insert constraint edges into the representation graph that represent the determined constraints; and provide the representation graph as training data to train a machine-learning model. The constraint generation engine may be configured to generate constraints for a different CAD assembly by applying the machine-learning model for the different CAD assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220171907
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, via a first component in a production environment, a sensor measurement corresponding to a second component in the production environment. A first digital twin corresponding to the first component is identified, and a perception algorithm is applied to identify a component type associated with the second component. A second digital twin is selected based on the component type, and a third digital twin is selected that models interactions between the first digital twin and the second digital twin. The third digital twin is used to generate instructions for the first component that allow the first component to interact with the second component. The instructions may then be delivered to the first component.

  • Patent number: 10437880
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for a feedback loop for enhancing archive validation and retention parameter determination for documents. The system may generate or receive image documents. Utilizing image quality and data storage metrics the system may trigger the purging and/or retention of documents in image and/or paper form. Upon retention, the system may continually monitor the documents and store metadata associated with the use of the retained documents. Once the documents are purged, the system compiles historic data points associated with the image quality and data storage metrics. Furthermore, the system extracts the metadata associated with the monitoring of retained documents. These data points and metadata are reviewed to provide revisions in retention parameters for specific documents. A feedback loop directly communicates and integrates the revisions to the metric and criteria for instant integration.
