  • Patent number: 11195343
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2021
    Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANY

  • Patent number: 9555902
    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.

  • Patent number: 9327846
    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.
