Systems and methods for command-driven automatic and semi-automatic mobile wear detection are disclosed. One method may include: transmitting, by a mobile device, a request indicative of a desire to determine a wear metric associated with a part; receiving, by the mobile device, first data associated with the part and indicative of a directive for the mobile device to display an instruction for the mobile device to be situated in a specified position; responsive to a determination, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is situated in the specified position, receiving, by a camera of the mobile device, visual data associated with the part; receiving, by the mobile device, second data indicative of a directive for the mobile device to process the visual data; determining, by the mobile device, the wear metric based, at least, on the processed visual data.

Command-driven automatic and semi-automatic mobile wear detection

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining part wear using a mobile device. One such exemplary method includes capturing, using the mobile device, at least one digital image of a wear part of a machine. The method further includes determining, by the mobile device and based on the at least one digital image, a degree of wear of the wear part.
