Gearbox computational models predict life

Sentient Science's DigitalClone software is accessible to operators through an online portal, and utilizes materials science-based computational models of the gearbox to predict life and provide life extension solutions. DigitalClone Live for Suppliers network aggregates the demand for parts and services needed by operators. The amount that operators are willing to pay for products and services is directly tied to operating performance that can be gained through life extension. Sentient's new product allows suppliers to see where Sentient has recommended uptower replacements, which can be ordered and prioritized. The dashboard describes overall opportunities, their urgency, and uses material science prognostics to predict how much life is gained by the repair. By employing the DigitalClone, operators and suppliers can see optimal timing windows for repairs so the supply chain can better support the key performance metrics of the operators. The operator chooses when and whether or not to share their information with the supplier. At very least, suppliers receive overall network and long term vision into regional demand for O&M products. Most will receive a detailed and immediately actionable demand report and the ability to communicate directly with their prospective and current customers.
