Abstract: A method is provided for classifying a maintenance record for a machine. The method includes receiving the maintenance record including maintenance event information expressed as a collection of terms of interest, and normalizing the terms of interest to their non-abbreviated, dictionary form. The method includes accessing a database of authoritative engineering information from electronic documents, expressed textually and indexed by class of a plurality of classes. The method includes weighted scoring the authoritative engineering information that uses one or more of the terms of interest represented in the weighted scoring by uniqueness scores. Matching authoritative engineering information is determined for the maintenance event information based on the weighted scoring, and the maintenance record is labeled with the class to which the matching authoritative engineering information is indexed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for maintenance recommendations. Embodiments include receiving data related to a plurality of fault codes. Embodiments include determining, for each respective fault code of the plurality of fault codes, a unique subset of parameters for the respective fault code based on frequencies of the parameters within the plurality of fault codes in the data. Embodiments include receiving a plurality of fault records and a plurality of maintenance records. Embodiments include, for each respective maintenance record of the plurality of maintenance record, identifying one or more candidate fault records of the plurality of fault records and correlating a subset of the one or more candidate fault records with the respective maintenance record based on the unique subset of the parameters for the respective fault code corresponding to each respective candidate fault record of the one or more candidate fault records.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing a system that includes at least one component. The one component is removed from the system. If it is determined that the one component was removed from the system for a reason that is not failure of the one component, then it is indicated that the one component is potentially serviceable.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enhancing performance of a system that includes a plurality of components. A server is coupled to a scanning device that is configured to scan a first component of the plurality of components for an identifier that uniquely identifies the first component. The server receives, from the scanning device, an identification of the first component of the plurality of components. The server also determines an operating parameter that is uniquely related to the first component, compares the operating parameter to a predefined baseline for the first component, and determines whether the first component is a rogue component.

Abstract: Methods and maintenance systems for use in analyzing data related to maintenance of at least one vehicle are disclosed. One example method includes receiving at least one fault message, receiving a maintenance event log for a vehicle. The maintenance event log including at least one maintenance event associated with the at least one fault message. The example method further includes automatically identifying a corrective action within a most recent maintenance event of the at least one maintenance event and storing a diagnostic entry including the at least one fault message and the identified corrective action, such that the diagnostic entry is retrievable from the computing device to evaluate a subsequent like fault message.
