Disney patents software that visualizes machine health using digital models
This filing describes a system that takes raw data from a machine's operation and matches it against a digital blueprint of the equipment. The software then highlights the specific part of the model that is currently active or affected, creating a visual report of the machine's status at a specific time.
In the filing’s own words
There is provides a system including a hardware processor, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to receive operational data corresponding to operation of an apparatus, the operational data including a plurality of timestamps each corresponding to an operating state of the apparatus, obtain, based on the operational data, a software design model of the apparatus, the software design model defining a plurality of internal operating states of the apparatus, determine, using the operational data and the software design model, an operational status of the apparatus at a selected one of the plurality of timestamps or a selected apparatus event, identify, from the software design model, a portion of the software design model corresponding to the determined operational status, and generate output data indicating the determined operational status of the apparatus and the identified portion of the software design model.
