Enhanced service procedures using force measurement

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for guided service procedure. The embodiment may include receiving feedback data from one or more of a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors may detect a physical condition at a serviceable location within an item of equipment. The item of equipment may be undergoing a service procedure by an equipment servicer. The embodiment may include determining whether the received feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors exceeds a threshold value. Based on determining that the threshold value is exceeded, the embodiment may include alerting the equipment servicer during the service procedure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for guided service procedure, the method comprising:
 receiving electrical feedback data belonging to one or more of a plurality of sensors, wherein the electrical feedback data belonging to one or more of the plurality of sensors is received from a sensor controller, and wherein the sensor controller provides a means for connection and transmission of feedback data between one or more of the plurality of sensors and one or more of a plurality of remote microprocessors located on a service console, and wherein the means for connection and transmission of feedback data between one or more of the plurality of sensors and one or more of a plurality of remote microprocessors is implemented through a network, and wherein the network is selected from the group consisting of an intranet, a LAN, and a WAN, and wherein each of the plurality of sensors is detecting a physical condition at a serviceable location within an item of equipment, and wherein the item of equipment is undergoing a service procedure by an equipment servicer, and wherein undergoing a service procedure comprises performing, by the equipment servicer, maintenance on the item of equipment, and wherein the item of equipment is selected from the group consisting of a piece of complex manufacturing equipment and a piece of complex medical equipment;   determining whether the received electrical feedback data from one or more of the plurality of sensors exceeds a threshold value;   based on determining that the threshold value is exceeded, generating an error message for the equipment servicer; and   displaying the generated error message on the service console during the service procedure, wherein the generated error message is also stored within the service console for debugging analysis.
