A device for augmented reality model alignment is disclosed. The device may receive user input that identifies a machine, identify an augmented reality model associated with the machine, and display a representation of the machine with multiple icons that indicate multiple positions for a target marker. The device may detect a user selection of an icon of the multiple icons and may determine, based on the selected icon, an orientation for superimposition of the augmented reality model. The device may detect the target marker in an image captured by an image capture component of the device and may superimpose the augmented reality model on the image using the orientation.

A tool erosion detecting system for a machine having a ground engaging tool is disclosed. The tool erosion detecting system may include a camera configured to generate a first image of the ground engaging tool on a display device, an input device configured to receive a user input, and a controller in communication with the camera and the input device. The controller may be configured to generate an augmented reality view of the ground engaging tool. The augmented reality view may include the first image of the ground engaging tool generated by the camera and a second image of a ground engaging tool superimposed on the first image and being associated with a selected wear level, wherein the selected wear level is based on the user input.

A computer based system and method for providing case base diagnostics for a work machine, is provided. The case bases include diagnostic information and processes related to the work machine. The system and method receive a description of an initial problem from a user and display at least one question, as a function of the initial problem. The system and method also display a first set of recommended actions, as a function of the initial problem, and receive an answer from the user to the at least one question. The system and method further display a second set of recommended actions as a function of the initial problem and the answer to the at least one question, wherein the second set of recommended actions is a subset of the first set of recommended actions.
