Process for updating the scheduling of a service stop for a machine
First Claim
1. A system for updating scheduling of a service stop for a machine, comprisingan electronic control device on the machine for monitoring, over a monitoring interval, a usage severity of the machine by monitoring at least one machine parameter,a remote server, andcommunication means for transferring data from the electronic control device to the remote server,wherein the remote server is configured for:
- receiving information which has been gathered by the electronic control device,determining, for at least one service operation, a service occurrence specification, anddetermining a window for an occurrence point for the service operation, a width of the window being dependent on a distribution of the usage severity,wherein the server is configured for establishing a value distribution for the parameter during the monitoring interval, establishment of the value distribution comprising determining a plurality of severity classes, and determining a proportional frequency of presence of the parameter within each severity class.

Abstract
A process for updating the scheduling of a service stop for a machine includes determining, for at least one service operation, a service occurrence specification, monitoring the machine'"'"'s usage severity, and setting an earliest occurrence point and a latest occurrence point for the service occurrence specification which are determined according to the machine usage severity monitored during a monitoring interval.

8. A system for updating scheduling of a service stop for a machine, comprising
an electronic control device on the machine for monitoring, over a monitoring interval, a usage severity of the machine by monitoring at least one machine parameter, a remote server, and communication means for transferring data from the electronic control device to the remote server, wherein the remote server comprises a computer programmed for receiving information which has been gathered by the electronic control device determining, for at least one service operation, a service occurrence specification, establishing a value distribution for the at least one parameter during the monitoring interval by determining a plurality of severity classes, each severity class being defined by a range of values for the at least one parameter, and by determining a proportional frequency of presence of the parameter within each severity class, and determining a mean occurrence point for each service operation as a weighted value comprising a sum of, for each severity class, a mean value corresponding to the severity class weighted according a proportional frequency of presence of the parameter within the severity class.

17. A system for updating scheduling of a service stop for a machine, comprising
an electronic control device on the machine for monitoring, over a monitoring interval, a usage severity of the machine by monitoring at least one machine parameter, a remote server, and communication means for transferring data from the electronic control device to the remote server, wherein the remote server is configured for receiving information which has been gathered by the electronic control device, determining, for at least one service operation, a service occurrence specification, setting an earliest occurrence point and a latest occurrence point for the service occurrence specification which are determined according to the machine usage severity monitored during the monitoring interval, and establishing a value distribution for the parameter during the monitoring interval, which comprises determining a number of severity classes, and determining a proportional frequency of presence of the parameter within each severity class, wherein the step of setting the earliest and latest occurrence points takes into account the distribution of usage severity during the monitoring interval.
