  • Patent number: 12327200
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for modeling a manufacturing assembly line are disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to operating a processor to receive cell data and line production data, determine one or more production associations between the cell data and the line production data; evaluate the one or more production associations to identify one or more critical production associations; retrieve the cell data and the line production data associated with the one or more critical production associations; and train a predictive model with the retrieved cell data and the retrieved line production data to predict the production level of the manufacturing assembly line.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11790255
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for modeling a manufacturing assembly line are disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to operating a processor to receive cell data, extract feature data from the cell data, determine a plurality of faults, determine a priority level for each fault by applying the extracted feature data to a predictive model, determine at least one high priority fault, and generate at least one operator alert based on the at least one high priority fault.

  • Patent number: 11514344
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for modeling a manufacturing assembly line are disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to operating a processor to receive cell data, extract feature data from the cell data, determine a plurality of cell configurations, determine an efficiency score by applying the feature data to a predictive model generated for predicting a production level of the manufacturing assembly line, determine at least one target cell configuration from the cell configurations based on the efficiency score, and apply the at least one target cell configuration to at least one cell by implementing each target cell configuration to a corresponding cell.
