Abstract
The disclosure is directed to metal fatigue analytics and alert systems. A system in accordance with an embodiment includes: a first database on a vehicle, the database storing a list of all metal parts in the vehicle and corresponding metal batch information for each of the metal parts; a second database on a server remote from the first database, the second database storing metal batch information for at least one batch of metal from which faulty metal parts have been constructed; a messaging system for polling the second database to obtain the metal batch information for at least one batch of metal from which faulty metal parts have been constructed; a comparing system for comparing the metal batch information stored in the first database with the metal batch information stored in the second database; and the messaging system generating a failure alert message when the comparing system finds a match between the metal batch information stored in the first database and the metal batch information stored in the second database.
