Processes for improving production of a work machine
First Claim
1. A system for improving the production of a machine, comprising:
- a data collector disposed within the machine and configured to collect operation data associated with the machine and transmit the collected data over a communication network;
a production management system, coupled to the communication network and configured to;
receive the operation data from the data collector, analyze the received operation data based on one or more predefined specifications, and adjust a production aspect of the machine if the received operation data does not conform to the one or more predefined specifications.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for improving production of a work machine. According to one embodiment, a system for improving the production of a work machine is disclosed. The system includes a data collector disposed within the work machine and configured to collect operation data associated with the work machine and transmit the collected data over a communication network. The system also includes a production management system, coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the operation data from the data collector, analyze the received operation data based on one or more predefined specifications, and adjust a production aspect of the work machine if the received operation data does not conform to the one or more predefined specifications. The system further includes a production entity, associated with the work machine and in communication with the production management system, configured to receive the analyzed operation data from the production management system.
