Abstract: A method may include receiving an indication of an available updated container. The method may also involve identifying one or more compute surfaces comprising a first container and a second container that correspond to the available container, such that the first container may control one or more operations of an operational technology (OT) device. The method may also include scheduling a deployment of the updated container to replace the second container, receiving expected output data associated with a digital model associated with the OT device, and scheduling a switchover of control of the one or more operations to the second container based on the expected output data.

Abstract: A method of making a wheel end to be installed on a vehicle includes assembling a rotor and components with bearing surfaces to define an assembled module configured to be mounted to the vehicle, and preloading the bearing surfaces of the assembled module in a set amount as required for mounting the assembled module to the vehicle. The method further includes mounting the assembled module on a holding fixture and rotating the assembled module on the holding fixture. The method further includes, while rotating the preloaded assembled module, machining the face of the hub flange prior to affixing a rotor to the flange, and then machining a final cut on the rotor once the rotor is affixed to the flange. After machining, the assembled module remains preloaded with the set amount of preload as the assembled module is installed on the vehicle, thereby providing reduced lateral runout.

Abstract: The present invention involves a wheel end and a method of making a wheel end to be installed on a vehicle for reduced lateral runout. The method includes assembling a rotor and components with bearing surfaces to define an assembled module configured to be mounted to the vehicle and preloading the bearing surfaces of the assembled module. The method further includes mounting the assembled module on a holding fixture and rotating the assembled module on the holding fixture. The method further comprises machining a final cut on the rotor to a rotor width while rotating, after assembling and preloading the assembled module to define the wheel end of the vehicle. After machining, the wheel end remains assembled and preloaded when the assembled module is installed on the vehicle for reduced lateral runout.

Abstract: The present invention involves a wheel end and a method of making the wheel end of a vehicle for reduced lateral runout. The method includes assembling a hub and components with bearing surfaces to define an assembled module configured to be mounted to the vehicle. The method further comprises preloading the bearing surfaces of the assembled module and mounting the assembled module on a holding fixture. The method further comprises rotating the assembled module on the holding fixture. Furthermore, the method includes machining a final cut on an open face of the hub on inner and outer portions of the face to a flange depth, while rotating, after assembling and preloading the assembled module to define the wheel end of the vehicle. After machining the final cut, the wheel end remains assembled and preloaded to be installed on a vehicle for reduced lateral runout.
