Abstract
A system of digitally representing equipment failure comprising: a testing assembly for testing a component of a manufacturing equipment wherein the component includes a defect in a critical area included in the component; a sensor in communications with the testing assembly for sensing a failure state of the component, a set of computer readable instructions adapted for: receiving a critical failure mode associated with the component, receiving a testing dataset from the sensor representing testing results produced by the testing assembly wherein the testing dataset includes initial data representing an undamaged component and a failure dataset representing a failed component, isolating a set of failure data representing a testing status of the component from initial testing to failure of the component determined by the critical failure mode, creating a usable lifetime model of the component according to the set of failure data.
