Systems and methods to facilitate hose and fitting identification and assembly
A crimper analyzer system is disclosed. The crimper analyzer system also includes a network interface. The crimper analyzer system also includes a memory storage. The crimper analyzer system also includes one or more processors configured to: receive hose specifications and fitting specifications from the network interface, generate crimp parameters based on the received hose specifications and crimp operation data, obtain additional crimp operation data for a hose assembly operation, update the crimp operation data with the additional crimp operation data and store in the updated crimp operation data in the memory storage, and generate a unique assembly identification (UAID) for the hose assembly operation subsequent to the hose assembly operation.
1. A crimper analyzer system comprising:
a network interface;
a memory storage;
a hydraulic hose and fitting;
one or more processors configured to:
receive hose specifications and fitting specifications from the network interface;
generate crimp parameters based on the received hose specifications and crimp operation data;
obtain additional crimp operation data for a hose assembly operation;
update the crimp operation data with the additional crimp operation data and store in the updated crimp operation data in the memory storage; and
perform the hose assembly operation with the hydraulic hose and the fitting by a crimper using a crimper and the crimp operation data to form a hose assembly;
generate a unique assembly identification (UAID) for the hose assembly operation subsequent to the hose assembly operation based on hose information and crimp process measurements;
perform a high pressure test of the hose assembly at a multiple of an operating pressure for the hose to generate test results;
receive usage information for a hose assembly tagged with the UAID;
generate a maintenance schedule for the hose based on the received usage information, the received hose specifications and the operational data.
