Optimization of Process for Exiting Machines from Test Environments - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17988011 titled 'Optimization of Process for Exiting Machines from Test Environments

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes mechanisms for assigning operators to a break team to remove a machine from a test environment. The mechanisms involve generating a data structure for the machine under test (MUT), prioritizing the removal process, identifying eligible operators, and specifying the break team and priority for removal.

• Mechanisms for assigning operators to break a machine from a test environment:

   * Generate a data structure for the machine under test (MUT) in a database.
   * Prioritize the removal process by executing computer models on the MUT data structure.
   * Identify eligible operators for the break team by executing computer models on operator data in a database.
   * Specify the break team and priority for removal based on the execution of the computer models.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where machines undergo testing and require removal by a designated team of operators.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently assigning operators to break a machine from a test environment based on prioritization and operator eligibility.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in the machine removal process, optimized allocation of resources, and streamlined coordination of break teams.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and other industries where testing and removal of machines are common.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems or methods for assigning tasks to operators based on prioritization and eligibility criteria in various industries.

How does the technology handle emergency situations where immediate machine removal is required?

The patent application does not specify how the technology addresses emergency scenarios where urgent machine removal is necessary.

What measures are in place to ensure the safety and training of operators assigned to the break team?

The patent application does not detail any specific safety protocols or training requirements for operators designated to the break team.

Original Abstract Submitted

Mechanisms are provided for assigning at least one operator to a break team to break a machine from a test environment. The mechanisms, in response to installing a machine under test (MUT) in a test environment, generate a MUT data structure in a MUT database that stores machine detail data. The mechanisms monitor the testing process to detect the testing process nearing completion and, in response to nearing completion, the mechanisms: (1) execute a first computer model on the MUT data structure to prioritize breaking of the MUT from the test environment; (2) execute a second computer model on operator data in an operator database to identify eligibility operators for the break team; and (3) generate an output specifying the break team in association with the MUT and a priority for breaking the MUT from the test environment based on the execution of the first and second computer models.
