Automated detecting and reporting on field reliability of components

摘要

An automated system to identify, categorize, detect, and report on unreliable components based on defining, generating, transmitting, collecting, aggregating, and operating on product operational data for observations received from devices in the field, such as over a network. In response to an observation for a product, the automated system automatically updates reliability statistics for components or families associated with the observation according to a set of computations or arithmetic operations without recalculating the reliability statistic.
