  • Component tracking method and system
    Patent number: 10726388
    Abstract: A method for tracking components of equipment. The method includes generating a first record in a component tracking data store of a component tracking system for storing original constituent component identification information that specifies original constituent components of the equipment, and a second record in the component tracking data store of the component tracking system for storing replacement component identification information that specifies a replacement component that replaces a component of the original constituent components of the equipment. The method further includes receiving a request for a current listing of components in the equipment and locating records in the component tracking data store of the component tracking system associated with the equipment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2020
    Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions Limited
