System and method for integrating a plurality of diagnostic related information
First Claim
1. A system for integrating a plurality of information from a multiple of sources, comprising:
- a site specific database containing site specific information for a machine;
a plurality of diagnostic related information obtained from the machine;
a plurality of diagnostic and analytic tools for evaluating the plurality of diagnostic related information, wherein each diagnostic and analytic tool generates a tool output containing a list of possible recommendations pertaining to the machine;
a diagnostic router for collecting site specific information for the machine from the site specific database and the plurality of diagnostic related information and generating a current incident record therefrom;
an approved incident record database containing a plurality of approved incident records obtained from a plurality of machines; and
an integrator for finding approved incident records from the approved incident record database that most closely match the current incident record.

Abstract
This invention provides a system and method for integrating a plurality of diagnostic information from a multiple of sources. In this invention, there is a site specific database which contains site specific information for a machine. A plurality of diagnostic related information is obtained from the machine. A diagnostic router collects the site specific information for the machine and the plurality of diagnostic related information and generates a current incident record therefrom. An approved incident record database contains a plurality of approved incident records obtained from a plurality of machines. An integrator finds approved incident records from the approved incident record database that most closely match the current incident record.
