  • Patent number: 7333918
    Abstract: A system and method for utilizing reliability data from a plant to dynamically calculate an expended life for a selected part. A system is provided that includes a central database for storing service data for different parts of a unit within the plant, wherein the service data includes installation data and a service history of the different parts; a data collection engine for dynamically collecting operational data from the plant in a near real-time manner, wherein the operational data is collected, processed and stored independently from the central database; and a lifetime calculation engine for implementing a lifetime calculation equation for the selected part, wherein the lifetime calculation equation utilizes the service data and the operational data to determine the expended life of the selected part.

  • Patent number: 7324923
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting/calculating engine cycles, tracking engine cycles and correlating the engine cycles to parts to measure accumulated cycles associated with the parts. A system is disclosed that includes a parts tracking system for tracking serialized parts contained within the machine; an interface for importing cycles data on the machine via a remote data collection unit, wherein the cycles data includes full cycle, partial cycle, and trip cycle data; and a cycles calculation system for calculating accumulated cycles for each of the serialized parts contained within the machine based on the imported cycles data.
