By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News - From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Craig, Jordan J.W. (White Bear Lake, MN, US); Henderson, John W. (St. Paul, MN, US); Liu, Sophia S. (Denver, CO, US); Long, Andrew W. (Woodbury, MN, US), filed on October 23, 2023, was made availab le online on April 25, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Many workplaces, such as vehicle repair and maintenance sh ops, production plants, etc. may include a variety of tasks performed within the workplace. Numerous systems exist for calculating various performance metrics ( e.g., revenue, throughput, expenses, profitability, efficiency, etc.) of such wo rkplaces, however, no solution exists for automatically populating an underlying data required (e.g., the number and type of tasks performed, a time required fo r performing each task). For example, a full understanding of a work process flo w (hours per task, hands-on time per task, down time, time spent waiting for par ts, bottlenecks, mean cycle time, etc.) may be required for calculation of such performance metrics. Current systems require manually inputting the underlying d ata, which may be difficult in a fast-paced, multi-step, and manual workflow. Ad ditionally, in order to accurately identify areas for improvement, a granular br eakdown of the work process flow throughout the workplace may be required. This may be difficult especially when the tasks are performed at various physical loc ations within the workplace.”
