Patent Issued for Systems and methods for data-driven process improvement (USPTO 11994851).

A patent has been issued for systems and methods for data-driven process improvement. The patent describes a framework that allows for the development of pipelines for data-driven processes, particularly for machine condition monitoring and maintenance in construction and civil engineering projects. The apparatus includes a series of data processing modules and a data access layer, which integrates the diagnostic portion of the data processing pipeline with downstream improvement systems. The invention aims to address the limitations of custom-built or inflexible pipelines by providing a unified data format and facilitating the integration of various processing modules.
