Systems and methods for dishmachine health monitoring

Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for dishwasher health monitoring. A method includes monitoring, using a control board, a dishwasher during operation of the dishwasher, and detecting, using the control board, an error condition of the dishwasher using signals from one or more sensors. The method also includes reporting, using a wireless communication transceiver, failure information of the error condition, and diagnosing, using the failure information and machine learning, a component failure of the dishwasher. The method further includes generating, based on the diagnosed component failure, service instructions for the component failure of the dishwasher, and displaying, for a user of the dishwasher, the service instructions including identifying information of replacement components for the dishwasher.

         1 . A method, comprising:
 monitoring, using a control board, a dishwasher during operation of the dishwasher;   detecting, using the control board, an error condition of the dishwasher using signals from one or more sensors;   reporting, using a wireless communication transceiver, failure information of the error condition;   diagnosing, using the failure information and machine learning, a component failure of the dishwasher;   generating, based on the diagnosed component failure, service instructions for the component failure of the dishwasher; and   displaying, for a user of the dishwasher, the service instructions including identifying information of replacement components for the dishwasher.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors include embedded sensors of the control board. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors include a sensor on or in the dishwasher. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors include a sensor remote from the control board and remote from the dishwasher. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising logging the replacement components for the dishwasher in a memory. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising predicting the component failure using the failure information and the machine learning. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein reporting failure information of the error condition includes reporting failure information to a mobile device application. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein reporting failure information of the error condition includes reporting failure information to a cloud-based system. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the service instructions includes using a mobile application configured to execute on a user device. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the service instructions includes displaying the service instructions on a display on the dishwasher. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the service instructions includes displaying a diagnostic summary on a user device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the service instructions includes displaying text with step-by-step repair instructions on a user device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the service instructions includes displaying a video including step-by-step repair instructions on a user device. 
     
     
         14 . A system, comprising:
 an electronic control board, including:
 embedded sensors configured to monitor a dishwasher during operation of the dishwasher; 
 a microprocessor configured to detect an error condition of the dishwasher using signals from one or more sensors; and 
 a wireless communication transceiver configured to transmit failure information of the error condition; and 
   one or more processors and a data storage system in communication with the one or more processors, wherein the data storage system comprises instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
 diagnose, using the failure information and machine learning, a component failure of the dishwasher; 
 generate, based on the diagnosed component failure, service instructions for the component failure of the dishwasher; and 
 display, for a user of the dishwasher, the service instructions including identifying information of replacement components for the dishwasher. 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more sensors include the embedded sensors of the control board. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more sensors include a sensor on or in the dishwasher. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more sensors include a sensor remote from the control board and remote from the dishwasher. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to log the replacement components for the dishwasher in a memory. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to predict the component failure using the failure information and machine learning. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors include the microprocessor of the electronic control board. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors include a processor of a mobile device.
