  • Publication number: 20260147336
    Abstract: In a method of providing an early warning for a component of a device, a historical production data feature of the component during production of the component is obtained. Whether the historical production data feature of the component matches an early warning indicator is determined. The early warning indicator is determined by performing correlation analysis on sample production data of a plurality of component samples and sample operation fault data of the plurality of component samples to obtain production fault correlation data, and determining, when the production fault correlation data indicates a correlation between the sample production data and the sample operation fault data, the early warning indicator based on the sample production data correlated with the sample operation fault data. When the historical production data feature of the component matches the early warning indicator, early warning information for the component of the device is generated.
