Abstract:

A fault database includes a fault identifier, a signature or pattern that indicates the presence of the fault, and a set of mitigation control steps. The fault database is intermittently updated and downloaded to an agricultural machine. A fault identification system on the agricultural machine scans data logs that are generated by a log generation system on the agricultural machine and compares information in the data logs to the signature or pattern in the fault database to determine whether any of the faults in the fault database are present on the agricultural machine. If a fault in the fault database is present, a mitigation control step is identified to mitigate the fault, and a control signal is generated on the agricultural machine to implement the mitigation control step.
