QCS Scanner Mixed Reality Guidance for Safer Troubleshooting

The patent creates virtual copies of physical scanners and training environments using VR/AR technology. These digital twins replicate the actual scanner interfaces, components, and operational procedures, allowing trainees to practice on identical virtual representations without consuming physical resources or requiring access to actual equipment.

The patent transitions training from the physical three-dimensional space to a virtual/digital dimension. By immersing users in virtual environments that overlay or replace physical spaces, the system enables training in an additional dimensional realm where time and physical constraints are relaxed while maintaining procedural fidelity.

The system enables scanners and field devices to perform self-diagnosis and self-reporting of issues. Automated monitoring mechanisms detect problems and communicate them directly to the platform, eliminating the need for manual inspection and enabling immediate, accurate issue identification without human intervention.

The patent implements continuous feedback loops where diagnostic data from scanners flows automatically to the AI platform, which analyzes the information and provides real-time guidance. This closed-loop system ensures accurate issue detection through automated data collection, analysis, and verification, reducing reliance on human expertise while maintaining high accuracy.
